The red moon kept spilling its crimson light somewhere beyond the horizon, like a wound leaking blood, casting a rust-colored glow over the world.
The rustling of enormous leaves and the skittering of giant insects shattered the forest's hush. Each sound sent shivers crawling up my spine.
On the brighter side, the cold night wind felt fresh against my face, brushing through my golden hair the same way it rippled across the waist-high grass.
I had just begun to enjoy the breeze when a spider the size of a small car peeked from the bushes.
The spider's face, looking disturbingly human, was stretched into an inhumanly wide grin.
It didn't dare approach. Just stared from a safe distance.
Its many pitch-black eyes stayed fixed on me.
And under the haunting red moonlight, the whole scene was ten times more harrowing than anything my words could ever convey.
"Gods, this place is so fucking creepy!" I exclaimed as the spider slipped back into the oversized undergrowth.
