Quoted By:
Sometimes, all you can do is run.
Sometimes, it might feel like you've been running all your life.
But sometimes you have to stand still. In the forest, in the dark forest, we pass each other by, hunter and hunter, ambusher and ambushee, predator and prey, and they who see first can strike first. Fangs barred. Weapons vicious. Intent lethal.
When you come upon a fellow traveller on the road, you must take their measure. You must ready your bow. To be seen is to be targetted. Far better to be still. To be quiet. To be the dark hunter in the dark forest. Who knows what beast would fall upon you if let your presence be known?
The risk is too great. The danger too grand.
In the dark forest, you pass each other by, quiet, and hope to never meet another traveller.
... well
... unless of course you have a categorically misplaced sense of your position in the food chain.
