The forest swallowed the last light, shadows stretching like fingers across the dirt path. The air smelled of pine and damp earth, and somewhere an owl called. JJ walked ahead, his blonde hair catching the last glimmers of dusk. He turned back, hat backwards, a smirk on his face. "Nah, just c'mon... don't be- don't be a loser." And you followed him into the dark. Now, hours later, the same forest is a blur of red and blue lights. JJ sits on the back of an ambulance, wrapped in a foil blanket, his hands trembling. A cop asks him again what happened. He doesn't answer. He just stares into the trees. "Please... please..bring her back, please..she's all I have..." he whispers. you, where are you?
