The Cursed Forest (Part 1)

No one in the village dared to enter the forest after sunset. Even during the day, most people stayed far from its shadowed edge. They called it, The Cursed Forest, a place where the trees whispered, the time was frozen, and the wind carried voices that no one could explain.

For generations, stories had been told about travelers who walked into the forest and were never seen again. Some said the forest was alive. Others believed an ancient spirit guarded it carefully, but no one knew the right answer, until something happened. One day a boy called Eddie wanted to enter the forest like everyone else. But her mom had a few things to say about it, about his wish.

‘’ My lovely boy, Eddie, you don’t know how dangerous it is to go there, don’t you dare to enter the forest, with this dream you’re risking your short life, it isn’t worth it, stay here with me.’’

But the boy didn’t listen to his mother. He ran into the forest without any permission. It was dark and scary, like the graveyards where the stray souls play and frighten people. He was shocked by its darkness.  He wanted to go back, but his curiosity didn’t let him go back, he continued to go deeper into the forest.

Eddie ‘s mind was ‘’hypnotized’’. He started to go deeper into the woods. He heard something strange, like an unusual but beautiful melody, which matched a violin’s sound. He went there to see what was going on there. There was a cute little dwarf, and the dwarf started to talk to Eddie.

‘’Hey, you little dumb boy, do you even know what have you done? You just…. Uh, found me. My name is Rocky, by the way, and who are you?’

‘’Hi, my name is Eddie, and I’m here to explore the woods, it is very-very wonderful, just like your talent for the violin.’
