Being an orphan I was a simple boy who worked in the temple
My work was all about waking up early and cleaning the premises
but the sudden illness of the priest led me to "General's forest"
The thick forest that spread miles in between the town and the sea was named after a myth
Ppl from faraway villages came there in search of medicinal herbs but even those folks from far knew not to enter the forest after the sun sets and moon shines
coz that was time for the "creatures of night" to raise
I had been going to the forest in search of medicinal herb for a week
I feared that before I do the priest would be called by the lord
with the horror of being hunted by the creatures, going deep into the forest became difficult
But that day I had no choice
The priest who gave me shelter and a purpose to live was in the death bed.. I had to get the herb before it was too late
As I marched in I lost the track of time.. I realized I was at the other side of the forest when I heard the waves crashing the land

OH NO!! I won't be able to go out of the forest before the sun sets!!
After few minutes I came in terms with reality..

This is how the 21 years I had led is going to end..
