The Forest of Men


We have to camp outside now, in the forest. The Foul Wind is definitely blowing harder now. The sky can’t hold all the grief we are throwing at it. So we settled our tents in the Trees. Uncle Luke was crying. When I talked to him, he stared at me with an odd light in his eyes.

“You are supposed to be dead.”

I thought he was saying that the bugs should have gotten me, but he explained, “I saw you fall to your death.”

“No, I’m okay. I just missed my footing.” I insisted. “I’m not dead.”
