A Woodland Adventure
Fallyn stopped and looked around. Silence settled. At least it seemed so for a short moment. She could hear squirrels skittering around the trees, and birds chattering to each other before taking wing, and she could hear others watching her. How does one exactly hear someone watching? She did not know, but she could. She stood among the trees and the underbrush that was so tall it nearly completely engulfed her and listened. She would never find her way out of the woods if she could not find a trail of some kind. Fallyn turned in a circle. The snow crunched under her boots and her breath streamed behind her. All semblance of silence was broken. Her movement startled the creatures of the forest. Birds took flight, squirrels and other small rodents momentarily stopped and then scurried into hiding. There was nothing for it, she realized, "I must find a trail." She said to no one, and off she started once again trudging through the snow while pushing brush out of her path.
