Strange Woods

By Rich Cole

Where time splits, memories haunt, and the forest remembers everything.

When young ranger Ethan takes a post at a remote outpost deep in the northern woods, he expects isolation, snow, and maybe some wildlife. But what he and his weathered superior Tom find instead is something far more disturbing: a man who vanished ten years ago, reappearing unchanged, silent, and impossibly alive.

As snowstorms trap them inside, and strange lights flicker in the trees, reality begins to fray. Time folds in on itself. Doubles walk among them. And the forest starts whispering their names.

With each passing day, the woods grow more sentient, replaying voices from the past, reshaping the land, and unraveling the men's grip on what's real. Ethan seeks the truth. Tom wants to escape. But in a place where memory can be mimicked and identity erased, the deeper danger may not be what they find but what follows them back.

Strange Woods is a chilling blend of psychological horror, cosmic mystery, and emotional suspense, a haunting tale about time, trauma, and the terrifying sentience of nature.
