Myth of Moonlight

Chapter One

There was something wild out there, dark and overwhelming, like the black starless

night. The rapid pounding of Kimberly’s heart obscured the sounds of crickets chirping

and a night owl’s hooting. Eyes wide, she turned and looked around. The surroundings

were the same as before.

Deep within a forest she had only visited in her dreams, she was surrounded by an

overwhelming sense of foreboding that made her hesitant to take another step.

Whatever was out there was waiting for her. Stepping back slowly, she nervously

jumped at the loud snap of a twig breaking under her bare feet. Immediately the wild

sounds surrounding her came to a halt.

Easing her foot back quietly, Kimberly tried to make her way out of the darkness of

the forest. The rustling of the bushes caused Kimberly to hold her breath in nervous

desperation. He was back, just as she knew he’d be, but worst of all, he was back for

her.

Afraid for her safety, she turned and began running through the dense forest.

Uncaring about the sharp stabs to her cold bare feet, Kimberly ran as if her life

depended on it. Trying to dodge as many objects in her way as possible, she kept fluid

tear as the branches lashed at her face. Kimberly raised her hands to try and protect

herself but she didn’t slow down because she knew he was gaining on her.

Suddenly Kimberly tripped over a protruding tree trunk, falling to her hands and

knees. The underbrush dug into her and she lay stunned for a moment. Realizing she

was wasting precious time, she scrambled up. Disoriented from the fall, Kimberly

looked around wildly, trying to gather her bearings. From her right, Kimberly heard the

crackling of leaves and immediately took off in the opposite direction.

Time seemed to slow as she continued to run. Her pursuer was relentless, never

giving her time to stop and catch her breath. The forest seemed never-ending, as great

an adversary as the one pursuing her. Kimberly began to grow tired and realized it was

only a matter of time until he caught her. She couldn’t think—she didn’t know what to

do. Tripping and falling a second time she lay on the ground, breathing harshly from

her exertion. Abruptly, Kimberly realized she could hear breathing behind her as well.

He’d found her. Turning, she gazed into glowing eyes and screamed.

Kimberly jolted upright. Perspiration drenched her body as she flopped back down

on the bed. Her heart was racing.

It was only a nightmare . Even though she was safe, home alone in her bed, the

thought did little to appease her. If her dream had been a one-time occurrence, she
