¡Hola! Muy buenos días, tardes y noches para toda la comunidad de Hive, espero que hayan tengan un gran viernes. A continuación, publicare un post especial en esta comunidad de Writing Club, ya que participare en este Concurso impulsado por @hive-132410 y me llamo poderosamente la atención y esto sigue siendo muy diferente para mí, porque en verdad, no escribo mucho sobre estos temas góticos u oscuros, pero pienso que todos hemos tenido miedo alguna vez de algo, que en algunas ocasiones puede ser a las alturas, a las cucarachas o ratones, a la muerte o al mismo Dios, solo por mencionar algunos ejemplos, esto lo estoy tomando como otro reto personal para mí para demostrar lo que he conseguido y pues nada, aquí hablo de la sombría aventura de Jacobo un chico de 10 años que desobedeció a sus padres llevándose un buen susto, y es un niño porque este domingo es el día de ellos en mi país Venezuela, en fin esta es mi entrada oficial al concurso esperando que sea de su total agrado y también para que se animen a realizar este desafío para todos ♥.
Hello! Very good morning, afternoon and evening to all the Hive community, I hope you had a great Friday. Next, I will publish a special post in this Writing Club community, as I will be participating in this Contest powered by @hive-132410 and it caught my attention and this is still very different for me, because in truth, I don't write much about these gothic or dark themes, but I think we all have been afraid of something at some time, which sometimes can be heights, cockroaches or mice, death or God himself, just to mention a few examples, I'm taking this as another personal challenge for me to show what I have achieved and well nothing, here I talk about the dark adventure of Jacob a 10 year old boy who disobeyed his parents taking a good scare, and he is a child because this Sunday is their day in my country Venezuela, anyway this is my official entry to the contest hoping it will be to your total liking and also to encourage you to make this challenge for everyone ♥.
In a small town called Oro Marrón of a little more than two thousand inhabitants, relatively quiet lived Jacob and his family, a boy of only ten years old with many dreams and goals to accomplish, dreaming of being an adventurer like Indiana Jones and travel the world, he along with his friends lived a normal and quiet life like any other boy of his age, In this small town his main source of income was a forest of several hectares, which was practically the main sustenance of that place, there were trees of different sizes and shapes, where there were approximately 50 factories of all kinds, such as pencils, notebooks, dining room sets, baseball bats, house builders, among many other things, a town with an exponential growth in the short and medium term, however in that forest almost at the end there is a place where it is forbidden to pass, an abandoned place where many things were said but nothing concrete in general, this caught the attention of Jacob and his friends, in addition to the urban legends of there, he sought the way to go to know it, but his parents flatly refused to let him be there since it was lonely and dangerous for a child of his age and he stayed still without insisting, throughout the months whenever he passed around that forbidden part, he heard strange and bizarre sounds that he did not know but that called his attention, and he became curious to know that space of the forest.
Jacob in his eagerness to know that part of the forest called all his friends to go to know that place and for him not to go there alone, he told them to meet in that place at 7 pm, once he made the call he waited anxiously to explore it, however, the weather began to get a little cloudy, it started to rain and for greater evils, his friends were regretting going to the forest with him, some for different reasons than others and well, once it was already raining, it was time to explore that area of the forest, he told his parents that he was going to finish a task at a friend's house, he took his jacket, a flashlight and started his journey on foot to go through and break the legends of that part of the forest, he crossed between two and three extensive lands, until he reached his goal, In a dense and vibrant environment, in the distance forest strange rustling sounds were heard and he stopped for a moment to listen to the whistling of grasshoppers, seeing how it impregnated the smell of pine, in addition to the smell of wet puddle, this boy in his innocence thought that there was nothing to worry about, that everything would be fine, he passed the security railing and at first things seemed to be normal, when he realized, he heard a sound a little far away but very different from the silence of the forest, he continued walking but there was a moment where he looked to the left to see what was on his horizon, behind those trees and branches that he observed he found some animal corpses, for a moment his heart stopped.
Passing the momentary scare, he continued with his journey, when an owl made its usual sound, and a shiver ran down his spine, and when he was halfway he regretted having crossed that part of the forest that his parents had forbidden him to go, and what to do now? He scratched his head, thinking about what he did, and how he disobeyed his parents for going into that forbidden part of the forest, then out of nowhere crows and snakes began to arrive, he wanted to start running, but part of his body was numb and panic began to take over the boy, but he gained strength again, and sighing calmly, he started to return home, thinking about how to tell his parents what had happened, but he did not remember the way out of that area of the forest, then he thought that his parents will realize that he has not arrived, they will look for me but then he thought, and if they find me, they will give me a scolding, that I am a child and a complete idiot, With that thought the boy went back into crisis and despair, and to his misfortune it started to rain making the outlook much bleaker for him, where owls, raccoons and bears were lurking, deep inside him, he was dying of cold, trying to escape, he felt that the night was passing like an hourglass, with quite a chill, he couldn't find the light, he only had the moon to illuminate his way, wandering in that place, alone with his thoughts and the latent danger of being alone there, he kept moving forward, falling in some puddles, walking without a fixed direction.
Feeling the breeze in his small being, already having a little hopelessness, he looked at some fireflies in the distance, but they were moving away and he began to follow them with the little strength he had left, in part of this journey he heard some sounds and solemn murmurs, insects, birds and animals are on their own, without giving much importance the boy followed the fireflies, took a short break and continued his way, he began to see a clearer light, because it was the exit of that forbidden part of the forest, Although this way back was longer, surprisingly he was not in a hurry, knowing that his nightmare would end there, he thanked the fireflies for their way, after the fireflies had cleared he started his return home, once there, he saw his parents, He hugged them and his mother asked him why he was dirty and pale, the boy decided to tell his parents the truth, both were listening surprised and amazed, they were astonished, watching and laughing, his mother complained and his father simply nodded his head and told him: if you really wanted to be an adventurer, fight for it because I am sure you will be as great as Indiana Jones or Christopher Columbus I don't know, but in the meantime, let's go to the forest together: the following week Jacob and his friends were playing in the forest near the forbidden place, he remembered with a mischievous smile his adventure in that place, with a smell of pine more than before, listening to the sounds of the birds, the murmurs of the place rejoiced his little heart, little things that made the boy happy, because it meant that everything was going to be all right for him and his family.
