Jack in a Dense Forest

Jack was resting in his bed, tomorrow was his twenty-second birthday. Although Jack was still residing in the same town, he found it particularly difficult to get through his birthday because it always brought up painful memories. The time was 11:59 when he looked at the clock. He was feeling very down. He recalled how Alizy used to video call him at this time, pretending as if she was unaware of his birthday before abruptly shouting, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY DEAR JOKER, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!" at 12:00 am.

He could hear the sound of Alizy as if she is sitting next to him; he put both his hands on his ears and shouted, "Stop! Stop! Or I will get mad".

He stood up and gazed into the mirror with swollen eyes. He wanted to smash the mirror and shout as loudly as he could. He could see his side table and the crystal lamp that Alizy had given him on it. He continued to stare at the lamp. He found it incredibly difficult to put up with this distress. He decided to take shower; he opened his wardrobe to take the clothes and saw a pink colored shirt and got lost in the memory.

It was his 17th birthday; all his friends gathered and he cut the cake after that he received all the gifts, but Alizy asked him to open the gift in private jack laughed and said, "I am being curious and will open it right now".

Jack was astonished when he opened the present to discover a pink shirt, pink panty, feminist-scented perfume, and even a pink hairband with a unicorn on it. "Alizy, are you kidding me?" he yelled in confusion.

Alizy teased, "Oh, you always call me boyish, to it is a pretty gift for my beautiful Jack," and the other pals began mocking Jack while keeping a wary eye on him. Jack took the joke seriously and left the place.

On the same day in the evening when he was sitting in his room, Alizy came to his house. She entered without knocking. "Jack?" She called. He looked and her and made her feel as if he is not aware of her presence.

"Come on Jack, that was just a joke, you cannot react like this, look at me", she said, Jack was still silent.

"Let me tell you something, the way you are getting angry is so girlish, do you know this?" Alizy said laughingly.

"Just shut up, you made fun of me", Jack said angrily.

"Ha-ha, Jack you are my cute Barbie girl", Alizy said and laughed so hard.

Jack was still standing in front of his wardrobe; he got back to his senses, then closed the closet, walked to the bathroom, splashed water on his face, and then came outside. As he glanced in the mirror, wet, curly brownish hair stuck to his forehead and his eyes, making it appear as though he had been weeping for a long time.

He took his bag pack and left the room, went towards the garage started the car, and got lost in the pitch darkness. He kept on driving and had no idea where he was going.

He sensed that the town would make him frustrated, so he drove quickly to get out of the town as soon as he could. He just wanted to run from the thoughts of Alizy and from all the old memories.

He finally managed to leave the town after a continuous hour of driving; his car was now on a dark road between majestic forests. The road was completely clear, there was silence, and only his headlight allowed him to see what was in front of him. The road was covered with bent tree branches.

After half an hour, after driving for 30 minutes, he started to feel like he was dragging the car. Unable to move the car forward, he pressed the accelerator, but it did no good. His car seemed to be under someone else's control.

He stopped his car, got out, and discovered that he was in a nocturnal forest where he could hear unusual voices of bats, wolves, and other strange noises. As quickly as possible, he wanted to leave this location.

He looked around, but there was no one he decided to get back into the car, and he tried to open the door but the door was locked, "hell, no!" he shouted and kicked the door. He heard some spooky voices as if someone just whispered something in his ear which he was able to hear, he tried opening the door again and it opened.

He was about to sit when he looked in the driving mirror, someone was there, behind his car, on the road, he remained still, and waited for the figure to move, he stood up and looked at the road but there was no one, then suddenly he heard a girlish voice from the forest, he looked there, in the dark he tried to adjust his eyes.

He tried to look who is there, there was something captivating, he was unable to take his eyes off he kept on looking and started taking the steps towards the forest, he lost control of himself and just kept on walking.

He could see a well in front of him but he was unable to halt. When he reached the well's edge, he felt something, came to the sense and looked down.

He felt as if someone is trying to push him, he immediately moved aside and looked around, and turned to look around. When he did so, he once again heard faint muttering. He then noticed a candle in the darkness where someone was sitting, Jack was only able to see her/his back. "Who are you? And what are you doing here?" Jack yelled.

When Jack approached the figure, he soon recognized that it was a girl sitting with a candle in her hand. There was no response, so he assumed that it might be a magician who had come here to perform some sinister deeds.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Celebrating a death day", she said and laughed.

"Dead day?" he asked.

"Someone's birthday is going to convert into a death day", she said murmured.

"Whose?" Jack asked shockingly.

"Your", she said and turned her face with a smile.

"Alizy? Hell, no who are you?" Jack remained shocked when he looked at the face of that girl.
