00:00It's strange how easily people dismiss stories until they become their own nightmares.
00:07Years later, I returned to the countryside for Tom's wedding.
00:11Curiosity drew me back to the woods, now overgrown, paths hidden beneath layers of leaves.
00:19Standing at the road's edge, cigarette trembling in my fingers, I listened intently.
00:25Silence. But just as I turned away, relieved yet oddly disappointed, a faint echo drifted on the wind, a distant, familiar laughter.
00:39My heart froze. Was it memory haunting me, or something far darker, still lurking among those dead trees, waiting patiently for my return?
