I don’t want to go near it, but it summons me much the same as these beasts draw me toward them. The slow moving, twisting, black cloud holds answers. It holds something dark and dangerous that wants to consume me, I’m sure of it.
But if the beasts see it, they don’t react. They continue forward on a path I can’t see.
I want to ask them about it because it feels significant, but my mouth doesn’t seem to work. We move away from it until it’s hidden by the trees. And for some reason, I can no longer see it in the sky. Not at all.
Which is impossible.
I’m definitely hallucinating.
The forest moves around me like I’m speeding through a cave, and the early morning sun is rising and climbing across the sky in the blink of an eye. The second cave they bring me to is much smaller, almost too small for the four of us, or even just for the three of them. The walls are closer, the ceiling shorter and even though they don’t duck, the sheer size of one of them overpowers the space.
The green-eyed beast looks at me, and I must be hallucinating because I think he smiles, almost as if to say, “welcome home.”
