Summary

"...When I was five years old, I ventured too far... At some point I had lost track of which direction I had come from, and, that deep into the forest, all the trees looked the same... But the weird thing is, I don't know what happened after that"

The motion sensor light outside my room turns on randomly during the night, and never

knew I, until I finally found the courage to look outside my window, written by An602-T-S-R.

I felt like the worst nightmare I ever had, but it was real. Still can't believe this happened.

0:31.3

I know this was real because I was never laying in bed. I was wide awake. I know when I

fall asleep. For this though, I really wish I was asleep. I just moved from

Florida into a small town up north, bordered by woods. Pretty cliche, but it's a nice house in a

nice town. Everything is close enough to still live a normal life. The only problem I've noticed

is our motion sensor lights. Every single night they turn on without anyone outside.

2:21.2

I thought nothing of it figured it was bugs or grass like I've always figured and laid down again,

when it just turned back on. Curiosity was killing me at this point, so I just had to take another look.

2:43.3

I opened the blinds and looked down, nothing but grass and empty woods.

Honestly, it seemed peaceful for a while. The lights seemed to stay on for longer than normal, so
