The Oldest Oak. Top Story - March 2024.
"I don't like these woods," Dafydd muttered. They had a presence that unnerved him. It wasn't the darkness; it wasn't the smell of them nor was it the unidentifiable shufflings, rustlings and creakings. It was something more and his instinct was twitching spasmodically in response and transmitting its vibrations to his gut. The air felt thicker and more hesitant to part and whilst his movement was unhindered, he felt enclosed on all sides.

death at your hands will be a mercy
She appears to me like a ghost. She is immensely tall and slender and nearly blue-skinned with that strange grayish hue that distinguishes her from the rest of her kind, and her thin arms and legs ripple with muscle. Her long obsidian hair hangs low in curls to her waist, and her clothes are white and nearly translucent, hanging off her body like the wraps of a mummy. Her shimmering skin, glittering like fish scales, seems to blend into the gray fog of the air, casting her in and out of visibility as she moves towards me. The way she seems to slink up the hill without even touching it sends a shiver down my spine, her bare feet traversing across the air above the ground instead of sinking and squishing against the muddy ground as mine had.

Each step he took stirred the fallen leaves, their rustling like the whispers of restless spirits. The sunlight filtered through the dense foliage above, casting eerie shadows that danced upon the forest floor. John pushed forward, his heart pounding with a mixture of excitement and trepidation.Hours passed, and still, there was no sign of the path he had followed into the woods. Panic began to gnaw at the edges of his mind as he realized he was hopelessly lost. Every direction looked the same—twisted trees reaching towards the sky, their branches entwined like the fingers of a skeletal hand.As night fell, the forest seemed to come alive with unseen creatures. Strange noises echoed through the darkness, sending shivers down John's spine. He tried to build a makeshift shelter from branches and leaves, but sleep eluded him, haunted by the feeling of being watched by unseen eyes.When dawn finally broke, John gathered his courage and set out once more, determined to find his way back to civilization. But the forest had other plans. No matter which direction he chose, the trees seemed to shift and change, leading him in endless circles. His water supply dwindled, and his hunger grew, yet still, he pressed on, driven by a desperate need to escape the grasp of the forest.Days turned into weeks, and still, John wandered, his mind slowly unraveling under the weight of isolation and fear.

With a sudden burst of courage, John scrambled to his feet and fled into the darkness, the creature's laughter echoing in his ears.For days, he ran, driven by a primal instinct to survive. But no matter how fast he ran, the forest seemed to stretch on endlessly, its twisted pathways leading him ever deeper into its clutches. And still, the creature pursued him, its presence a constant weight upon his mind.Finally, exhausted and broken, John collapsed upon the forest floor, his breath coming in ragged gasps. As he lay there, staring up at the canopy above, he felt a strange sense of peace wash over him. Closing his eyes, he surrendered himself to the darkness, knowing that he would never escape the shadowed grove.And so, the forest claimed another victim, its secrets hidden beneath a veil of leaves and branches, waiting for the next unsuspecting soul to wander into its depths. For in the heart of the ancient woods, there are horrors beyond imagining, lurking just beyond the wandering imagination of all who decide to fetch an adventure! Be aware of the unknown and prepare for a time you've never known! In that gloomy forest of darkness, there are whispers; you are not alone!

SO MANY PAINTINGS. Top Story - March 2024.
SO MANY PAINTINGS Psst! * * There were times, many times I wished I had the opportunity and financial ability to go to college and study art. Not to draw. No! I’m lucky I can mix red and blue and come up with purple. I’m lucky I can draw two parallel lines and have them look somewhat equal. What I would have loved to have studied were the artists and their creations. What were their inspirations? Where did they get their ideas? What made them choose one idea over another?
