But I was far from out of these dark woods, unbeknownst to me, there was a blotch of black appearing in the far side of the field. But I didn’t see it, my gaze was captured by the rainbow of flowers.
It wasn’t until I heard the cawing and fighting that I tore away from the flower and glanced in the direction of the black blotch. Crows. A ton of crows had appeared.
I looked around again, trying to see where the crows could’ve come from. I didn’t see anywhere, other than the pitch-black woods surrounding the field. I felt my stomach drop, if they had come from the woods, that meant something was in there.

Hi Maddi

Chapter 4 – A Murder of Crows
Time was running out. I was starting to lose my sense of self, I couldn’t find an exit, and I felt as if my sanity was slipping away like the sand in an hourglass. I ran around the cafe, searching for something, anything that would help me escape.
The clock was ticking, too loudly, and everything seemed to be getting grey. As if I was going colorblind. The room began to spin, and I heard something that sounded like… laughter. Somebody was mocking me.
No… I heard a voice in my head say, I wasn’t sure anymore if it was mine, we can’t be trapped here.
I felt watched, whipping around to see what was behind me. A blank wall. But wasn’t a hallway just there? I could’ve sworn where that empty, white wall was, I had just exited a long hallway. This wasn’t the cafe anymore, this was some sort of mystery dimension.
Something creaked up ahead, the sound of a door opening, followed by a blinding light. Something had opened up, maybe an exit. I dared to hope on this.
I squinted, one hand coming up to shade my eyes as I tried to see past the opening. I saw nothing, only a blank oval of pure-white light. Looking around, I could’ve made out the shape of the cafe table Eddie and I had just been sitting at in the waking world, but due to the light, it was impossible to make out the shape.
So I turned back to the seeming exit, and climbed through it. What was on the other side of it amazed me, it was nothing like what I had seen before.
It was a field, a giant, flowering field of daisies and violets, amidst the chaos of colors I saw small specks of yellow and black, honeybees. It was a flower gardener’s biggest dream, the kind of thing a toddler would dream of after a long ride in the country-side. It was surrounded by dark evergreen trees, creating the allusion of a sanctuary, of safety. Green, black, yellow, white and purple flashed at me any time I turned. The building I had just been in had practically melted away, leaving me stranded in a sea of color and fragrances.
There was a soft humming sound, the melody of the bees doing their busy work. It was a soothing lullaby, something that would be sung to a restless infant.
I could feel myself begin to relax, that strained tension that had seized my body mere moments ago was melting away. I felt like I was becoming pudding from the inside out. A feeling of immense relief, even if I was still in the dark of the entire moment.
I wondered now what was going on in the real world. Was Eddie worried about me? Had something else taken control of my body and was impersonating me, or did I simply faint.
I couldn’t hear voices anymore, only the soft chirping of robins and the buzzing of bees. It was as if a slice of heaven had come down to grace me with its presence. The place was… perfect, too perfect.
But I was too deep into the alluring spell of the place to even think of any possible danger.
