The Sound #1

While Will was in his tent on a foggy night, he heard noises from outside. Even though he initially thought that the animals in the forest were making this sound, he slowly came out of his tent when he realized that the sounds were not dwindling and that these noises could not be made by an animal. He took his lantern, which stood at the entrance of the tent. He wasn't normally the type to do something like this. He usually did not get involved in events and often did not ask for help because of his introverted behavior. But the fear of being alone in the forest was making him do things he would never normally do in his daily life. Spending a weekend in the forest was one of these. Coming to camp in the woods to clear his mind… Every time he thought about this, he tried to remember how he had come to this decision. But he could never remember.

With the flashlight in his hand, he started to head towards where the sound came from. With each step he took, the sound of dried leaves and branches came from under his feet, and with each sound, the level of fear and stress increased. The further the light from his lantern went through the forest, the less area it illuminated. With each step he took, the moonlight dwindled through the leaves of the huge trees. This darkness and fear made him hesitate to take every other step. Then, he realized that the sound had suddenly increased. He took his steps towards where the voice came from. Something inside him was telling him that he wouldn't be comfortable until he found out where and why that voice came from. He was far from his tent now. But right now, he wanted to go to the place where the voice came from, not to the tent. He was sure of it. The sound grew louder with every step he took. Suddenly, a light from another part of the forest caught his attention. Although he initially thought it was the moonlight, when he looked carefully, he realized that there was a hut where the light came from. The sound was on his right but the hut was on his left. He was in a dilemma about which way to go, because right now, there was something else he was more curious about than the sound. Why is there a hut so deep in the forest?
