It Waits in the Woods

“The woods were a different country.”

Brenda gets so caught up in the ghost stories of her childhood. It makes me wonder how much of our fear is just nostalgia.

Seeing the characters frozen by a noise in the brush feels so real. Sometimes the silence after a sound is scarier than the sound itself.

“A legend is a living thing.”

The way the town treats the local legends is fascinating. People protect their nightmares because those stories give the place a soul.

Brenda realizes that the things we hide from as kids usually find us later. You can't outrun a memory once it decides to hunt you.
