The trees that covered the sky. – Short Horror Story

I kept looking at my phone, waiting for signal, hoping for an email, a call…

Nothing.

I could not tell you where I was or how I got there, but here I am here none the less, writing my final words in case anybody finds me after… you know.

I cannot say how much time has passed and I have no food or water. Hours…days, weeks, there’s no way to tell and I can’t handle it anymore.

I am surrounded by something that looks like a forest, but those aren’t trees, no, they look like long, aberrant dark tendrils that extend up so high they cover the sky… and yet, I can see so clearly it’s blinding. It should not be possible, the light, it covers me, there are no shadows here because everything is bathed in a nauseating shade of white, but…the sky isn’t there, no sun, not even a moon. The trees that aren’t trees sway from side to side but there isn’t any wind… how? … they do it without making a sound, not a single creak, it drives me mad.

They mock me…yes… of course they do. Looking down at me with disgust up in the sky, covering it from my sight. As I lay here in this shadow less ground, dying to eat, to drink…

To hear the sound of something that’s not my heartbeat, to see something that’s not the trees that cover the sky. To stop feeling that disgusting light furnishing every part of my being. Yes…they laugh while they pity me.

But I won’t let them. No…no…NO.

Laugh all you want; I know it deep down, in the core of my very soul…someone will come to save me…

Right?
