I don't know what happened to my brother. After that terrible night of ours in the woods, I no longer ventured among the dark trees and dark, silent shadows, not even during the day. There is no dawn or dusk in there, there is no distinction between day and night, light or dark, it is a dimension apart, a sort of evil limbo from which to stay away. Now my brother no longer exists, swallowed up forever by who knows what unknown force that lives in the thick of those nameless trees. We entered the woods at dusk, wandering off the path to find a shortcut that would save us some time.
Soon the darkness overtook us along the road and we were surrounded by an unreal atmosphere that pervaded us with restlessness. As we moved deeper into the trees, a sense of urgency and Special Data wet fear came over us with frightening force. There was silence. Too much silence. Yet, I can't say how, I felt that someone or something was watching us. Chills of terror suddenly seized me. I looked at my brother, next to me, and saw that he often turned around, as if he sensed a presence behind him, as if he felt followed.
We quickened our pace. It was then that I clearly heard something. But it wasn't a noise. It was silence and sound at the same time, it was something that moved behind and above us, but silently and yet not hiding its presence. I realized that my brother was no longer with me and, in a panic, I ran away, away from those trees and what they guarded. Miraculously I came out of that forest, returning to the old path. Shun silent beings that you cannot see or fight. They rain down from the thick darkness of the trees, making silence their strength and in silence consuming you as prey.
