Woman planet

5
The forest behind your house never looked quite
right that morning. Mist hung lower than usual.
The trees seemed taller, older, wrong somehow.
You kept walking, telling yourself it was nothing.
Then you saw her. A girl with messy hair,
gathering something from the ground, completely
unaware of you. The moment she looked up,
her face went pale with terror and she ran.
That was the moment you realized —
you were not in your forest anymore.
