The strange, sad forest is a dreaded rotting place.
The only light you see comes out in specks.
Shadows creep up on you from eerie dark places.
A dreamy silence, only to be broken by the gentle, sharp wind, whistling through the trees.
At night, it gets foggy and you cannot see your hand in front of you.
It is a scary, weird and freaky place.
It is also a peaceful, lonely place, where everything looks dead.
Go in and disappear into the gloomy silence forever.
