Forest?

I dive down to find out.
Tiptoe. “Hello?” I ask, wondering if anyone is around, with fear around me.
Darkness surrounds me.
I walk around, stepping on the crunchy leaves.
Crunch, crunch, the leaves disintegrate.
The eavesdropping silence occurs.
I explore some more, just in case there’s a problem.
Crack. It seems that I’ve stepped on a stick.
I decide to go straight while it was late. Crack. Crack.
“Oh, it looks like a trail,” I think to myself as the sticks dash ahead of me.
As the trail ends, I stare in horror like it was a dead body on Halloween night.
