It was midnight. My friends and I went for a walk in the woods. We have gathered a company of 5 people. We took food, tents etc. At midnight when we reached the forest we found a field where we left off. We put the tent, ate and began to tell each other stories. Suddenly one of us heard someone rustling in the bushes. We went to check out, but it was a squirrel. We have continued.Suddenly, we heard more rustling in the bushes. We did not pay attention to it and continued. One of us had gone to walk on the forest. An hour passed two - he did not return.We started to worry and went to look for him. When we found him - he was hanged on the tree, and he did not have a hand and foot.On the tree was a note - you are following.We were frightened and ran back home - but our city as if lost in the dark and we realized that this is the end.
