Chapter 12 - No Matter What

\|/ Turn 12, early light

I saw the eye.

The eye that had caused all the pain.

It appeared for just a moment last dark, checking on me, preparing to haunt me once more the following dark.

But this time, it will not get the chance.

I will rid this world of the living shadow, even if it's the last thing I do.

My only regret is making Mik worried for not returning, but soon enough it will see why.

 

I'm still at the lake. The night was freezing now, and I was barely able to move in the morning, but I survived, hiding in a small hole in the ground that was beside a tree, probably some resting place of another animal that migrated. If I knew that I was going to be gone for longer I would've brought my blanket, but this was unplanned.

I'll be setting up a trap now. If this is my last journal entry, so be it.
