Pan of the Woods
Part 1: The Forest The forest grew into sight around her, the wet smell of damp ground washed out by rain and hail held the scent of mud and humidity. She awoke to silence, the chirping of birds were nowhere to be found and no flies buzzed as she regained consciousness. Without a single idea of how she got here, she looked about her, grappling with the large tree she stood against. With her eyes to the floor, she saw a gnawed rope, gnawed like an animal would - realising she must have at some point, been tied to the tree she let out a small gasp. It echoed around her in the endless lines of trees upon trees. She felt up the bark for any clues, as if there would be any, but got a handful of splinters instead. The taste of dry, murky air lifted around her and she straightened her clothing alongside cautious movements forward. The rope lay about the tree as a checkpoint and whether forward was really the way she was going, she didn’t know.

She puffed from a vaporizer. A grin slid onto her face like a deathstalker slinking through the sand to find other scorpions. She wrapped up her makeup kit and dressed in black latex.
