My Trail

VIOLET

I didn't know my way, or how exactly I expected myself to find the camp—but there was just… a sense of validity.

Like I knew where I was headed.

Like the trees recognized me.

Which is a very stupid thing to think.

But still, every time the wind shifted, every time the sun slipped through the branches to warm my cheek, it felt like a path was being laid out before me. Not with signs or markers—but in the tug in my chest, the ache in my bones. Like a thread I couldn't see, pulling me deeper.

Déjà vu.

That's what it was.

Not just from this life, but something older. Something that whispered through the rustling leaves and the creak of bark overhead.
