The Forest Monologue
The Lonely boy in the Forest:
I believe it was mid-afternoon when mother and I decided to have a picnic lunch near the forest. The sun smiled at us with its golden radiance, and the scarlet poppies greeted us as me and mother set our picnic on the flower bed.
“Simply lovely today, isn’t it Charles?” mother asked as the two of us rolled out the checkered picnic blanket and finally gave our feet some rest.

“...Well, it’s a rather long explanation, but...huh?! Oh no!” the boy suddenly cried out in despair. “He’s here! Hide!”
The shadow from earlier slowly approached the cave; it treaded closer and closer with every movement. Although the two of us had hidden ourselves well, the shadow seemed to have had a sixth sense and detected us hiding behind a stalagmite.There seemed to be no use in hiding after
