You’re walking a path through a dark, menacing forest. The only light is from a full moon filtering through ancient trees. There are only fragments of moonlight. Something moves in the shadows. You quicken your pace, afraid to run. Afraid not to run. Your heart pounds. Cold sweat covers your skin. You moan deep within yourself. Despite your better reasoning, you break into a run a race for your life.

The shadows materialize into a dark shape. It springs. You scream. Suddenly, you realize you're in your favorite chair reading a horror story. This author has painted a story in your mind so real you felt the fear of the characters.
