The Fallen Forest

The Fallen Forest

A Story by Silent Wolf
"

Story for a contest I'm going to enter. :3

"
The forest. That's all I could see; all I've ever known. Tall, dark green pine trees on every side of me, here and there a rock larger than the rest. At night, a sliver of moonlight would filter it's way through the needles of the trees and find its way to the ground covered in dead and dying pine needles, and the forest seemed to come alive with a dark, eerie feeling. During the day, everything was silent with the exception of the occasional whistle of the wind  through the trees. Everywhere it's the same: woods, woods, and more woods. 
But I've lived here for 15 years now, since the day I was turned, and I know every nook and cranny of this place. It's a dog-eat-dog world, eat or be eaten, survival of the fittest, whatever you want to call it. No hunter has ever escaped from this forest, and no hunter within his right mind would dare enter for fear of not returning. 
Even still, there are those seldom few, those few whom I survive off of, who think they can conquer this forest, can outsmart it. 
The idiots. I thought to myself. 
Once again, I readjusted the skulls on my shelf I had chiseled out of the cave wall with my bare fingernail, which had been sharpened to a point over the years. A low rumble escaped from deep in my chest, almost like a purr, my senses going haywire. 
There's another idiot hunter nearby. I thought with a smug grin.

This is amazing. At first I thought the character was a wolf, due to the awareness of a hunter nearby. But then I realise it's just someone who protected the forest, owned it and got rid of predators namely hunters. This is really good and I hope you won the contest :)

Sometime I wish the forest could fight back. I enjoyed the story. The good description create good vision and thoughts. I like the forest. I take my grand boys on walks and they love to run and enjoy the life and beauty of the forest. Thank you for sharing the excellent story.

I like it. It's very creative. I love how there is one person or creature who protects the forest, to allow no one to ruin his/her home.

I see... Well, I wrote her in mind of a vampire. :3
The dialogue at the end seems forced, but this is good. Great prose, though I would have liked to see more and perhaps an explanation as to why an entire forest would be silent during the day. Seems a bit far fetched to me.

But well done!

This is interesting...beautiful word choices and vivid pictures. You could certainly write a book out of this. Why is it that I feel she is a vampire? :/
