Description
"It has been days since I became lost in this forest. I have now run out of my last supplies, no more food, no water. My hope was starting to fade away. Would I die of thirst, exhaustion, hunger or an infection. My mind wasn't capable of thinking of anything else except for how I would perish. I was sure this would be my last night in this forest - either I'd make it out, or I'd die here.

At, what felt like the darkest hour, night, I heard a sound in the forest. As the sound got closer I felt a weird pressure building up, I was starting to have trouble breathing, I began to sweat uncontrollably. The first thought that crossed my mind is that I'm dying I was about to just let it happen when I saw it. Between the trees I could make out the shape of a weird creature, as my eyes became adjusted I could fully see it. It was just standing there, starring at me, not once even blinking.

I don't know how long I stood there, while it felt like hours, it probably wasn't more than 2 minutes. This creature, hasn't moved an inch since I saw it, nor has it closed it's eyes. I myself became afraid of blinking, what if in that instant where I closed my eyes it would charge at me? In that moment, it clicked, I didn't want to die, not yet, this isn't my time. So started running in the opposite direction of the creature. Not once did I look back to see if i followed me. For how long did I run, I do not know, but it didn't matter because it was worth it.

I saw the end of the forest, I made it out. Hours ago, I had given up hope, given up my life, yet here I stand - I survived.

After all these years this tale of mine still haunts me. Was that creature Death? Was it waiting for me to give up and take me to the afterlife? Or did actually save me? Either way, I wish to thank it for saving my life.

I wish, to one day return to that place and find this creature again. Maybe having that spot, where I got a second chance at life, be my final resting place wouldn't be so bad."

Hope you will like the little story I came up with to go with the picture (thought it would help make the esk creepier)!
