“Help me..”
The wind is howling and there’s barely anything left in your waterskin. You’re stumbling around the forest floor in the midst of a dark snowy night.
Why? Well, a great ‘friend’ of yours told you to meet with him here, but then… ditched. He just left, left you here to wonder alone in the woods, without any contact to the outside world.
A dead phone, no gps, nothing. And you’re still thinking why he left you here to possibly die when… you freeze. Because there’s something here. More like… someone.
You see something on the ground reflecting the moonlight of the lonely night. Something thin, like.. a wire. It was a bowstring. Attached to a bow. But why would this be here?
You proceed to get closer when suddenly… movement. Then you hear it. The faint voice of a girl whispering help. She’s holding a phone. And the screen is lit. Maybe you can get out of here after all.
But would you help her?
