up my courage and said:
"Who are you?" uncertainty in my voice as I contemplated if asking him such a question was pushing the limits.
But he kept quiet and continued walking in the dark woods.
"Where are we?" I asked with all the bravery I had inside of my small body.
As soon as I did, I regretted it almost instantly. He stopped walking and for a second I thought that my heart was going to jump out of my chest.
Thump
Thump
Thump
A long second passed.
"We're in a forest" is all he said and resumed walking.
"I can see that, but why are we here?" I asked slightly annoyed at myself for getting so frightened.
"We're in a game. And I am the one who knows how it ends"
A game?
