Beneath the Overgrowth

By MB White

My feet are like anchors, as I drag each step along in a hasty rhythm. My shallow breaths are working in unison with the crunching of the leaves and twigs to drown out the surrounding sounds. Low hanging branches slash my forearms, raised up to protect my head as I slice through the darkness. If I just slow down I can catch my breath, check my surroundings, and better avoid hurting myself. I stop dead, as though I've ran headfirst into an invisible forcefield. There it is again; the sound I'm following. The panicked cry of a familiar abandoned woman searching for an escape. She's out here somewhere, too. Her screams weigh heavily on me; the forested mirage of my nightmares. The further I push myself into the darkness, I'm disappointed to find, doesn't bring me closer to solving this mystery. Where is she?
