The Man Outside.
I glance around the forest, looking down at my feet as I tripped over a rock.
I quickly stand back up, brushing myself off. I was embarrassed, even though I knew nobody was around to see I’d fallen.
I continued walking through the woods before something suddenly caught my attention.
A man was standing beside a tree, his back facing me. I raised a curious brow.
“Hello?” I say, taking a step toward him. “Are you alright?”
The man slowly turned, his face disfigured, his jaw stretched.
I dropped the flashlight in my hand, my breath catching in my throat as I took a slow step back, the man's hollow eyes trained on my figure.
