The woods were dark and deep.
They surrounded our small suburban town on three sides, waiting to swallow any brave soul who dared enter.
At least, that's what my mom always said.
I never really understood the danger, but I always felt it, like a buzzing in the back of my mind.
"Come on, Eve! Just a little farther," I called back to my best friend.
Eve picked her way through the underbrush despite her reservations.
We'd been walking for twenty minutes, yet the trees seemed no thinner, no more spaced apart.
I loved these woods in daylight when the sun cut through the limbs, casting long, interesting shadows.
But at dusk, like now, they were sinister.
Every hump of fallen trees or dark rabbit holes looked like something malevolent scurrying across our path.
Eve caught up to me and pushed a branch out of her face.
