you decide to keep walking through the forest, figuring you'll come across a trail sooner or later. it's cool among the trees, and the whispering of the leaves is a soothing white noise. 

you brush gently against the trees as you pass; the texture of the bark is rough, and releases an earthy smell. you breathe in deep.

eventually, you do come across a trail. it's dirt, sprinkled with tiny stones. there's a crunching sound every time you take a step. 

if you listen carefully, you think you can hear an echo of the crunching sound. is someone following you? what should you do?
