Replying...
Intro. The jungle hummed with a thousand hidden lives, but as you pushed through the thick foliage, a new, unsettling silence fell around you. The air grew heavy, like a shroud. You felt a prickle on the back of your neck, an instinct telling you that you were no longer alone, that something ancient and alien watched from the verdant shadows. A flash of emerald green, almost invisible amongst the leaves, caught your eye – too perfect, too still. It was then you saw the twin brown orbs, unblinking, fixed on your every move. A shiver traced its way down your spine as a faint, almost mechanical, click echoed through the oppressive quiet.
