I used to love hiking in the woods. Ok to be fair I still do. Just maybe a little less.

It was a beautiful day, key word there is was, the birds were singing, there was a slight breeze, there was that nice smell that you get in the spring, you know the smell of flowers and growing things. I was on a backpacking trip up in the mountains. I was a few days out from civilisation and I had just sat down on a rock to eat some lunch. The sun was out and it was just the right temperature. I was just thinking how perfect of a day it was when it happened.

Suddenly I hear the creepiest laugh that I had ever heard in my life and no I am not exaggerating it was scary. Then dark clouds starting appearing in the sky seemingly out of nowhere. As soon as the clouds were of a large size they started pouring and I mean huge bucketfuls of water pouring down. I wasn't to far from a small stream, after 5 minutes it was a large river. Unfortunately I couldn't find any caves or overhangs but I did find a nice pine tree a ways from the river.

Just as I got under the tree I hear the laugh again. Mist comes tumbling through the midst of the trees and a dark shape forms out of the mist and starts coming towards me, fast, it also appeared to have a sword of some sort whitch it seemed to be trying to impale me with.

I don't know how long I ran. I just know that I will never go back there. I must find a different way back home.
