I was lying on my back taking everything in; blinking at 100 beats/minute, hoping my eyes were only fooling me, hoping this strange new world would just disappear. When I realized this newfound world wasn’t going away, I started to listen. After convincing myself it was normal for any place to be completely silent, I began to rise from the wet auburn soil, while trying to brush all the debris from my clothes and hair. The ground that I was standing on was damp and covered by broken twigs and dead leaves. A thick web of trees and bushes shot high above my head casting dark shadows all around me.
