The forest route.jpg

I can remember that night perfectly, I was driving my 69th camaro along that desolate road where the only thing you could see around was forest and darkness, I remember playing the radio station because I was tired of listening to the only music I had, at first I couldn't find any radio station, all I could hear was interference.

Stubbornly I decided to turn off the radio and just listen to the sound of my car and smoke a cigarette while driving,
After a few minutes of complete silence the lights on my car started to go on and off for no reason.

The first thing that came to my mind was the battery of the car and what would happen to me if this car left me stranded on this road, and as if I had a bad thought magnet or a cursed intuition the lights of the car went out completely while it was still on, disconnected and I couldn't see the road I decided to stop.

I tried to turn on the lights and it didn't turn on, I tried it with the radio and if it did, but now there was no interference but a slight beep with some pattern that I don't remember but was repetitive, changing some stations without obtaining any result I decided to turn off the radio again.

I got my phone and got out to check the car, no signal to call a tow truck for the only thing my phone was for flashlight.
At that very moment some lights started to come out of the forest, they were blue lights, they turned in a synchronized way between them.
incredulous to see what was happening I decided to film it with my phone, but the screen of the phone was white, it didn't respond to anything

I just stood there looking at these lights, not understanding anything, just watching incredulously what was happening, I decided to get into the car and after that I just remember being inside the forest.

Trying to find out which direction my car was in, I saw nothing but trees and dense vegetation in the dark of night, I thought it was a dream, there was no logical way for me to be in a forest at that time of night.

And that same beeping sounded again, the one I had heard on the car radio, but this time as if it came from all directions.

I started to feel this feeling, I don't know about survival or fear, but it's something in my chest that turns on and tells you that you're in danger, that you should leave that place that's not right for you to be there, I just started running like I've never done before in my life, I remember feeling like my legs were reaching their limits and still I kept running as if it was something simple, as if I had total control of my body and I didn't feel the pain, I don't know how, but I could get to my car and start it up and get out of there.

This is something that will mark my life forever, even though I don't know what happened in that forest, but I don't usually take that road at night anymore.
