A New Dawn

Among the Trees

Introduction

Sarah walked along the edge of the forest near her home, bundles of firewood in hand. It was nearing dusk and she wanted to get back before night fell. As she walked, her mind wandered to the strange events of the past weeks. It had started slowly at first, odd noises and lights in the night sky that could maybe be explained away. But things had been escalating, with more sightings reported daily.

A few days ago, old Mr. Johnson who lived on the outskirts of town swore he saw a flying object descend behind the hill by his property.

In the morning, Sarah cautiously made her way down the hill, half expecting to find some grotesque aftermath of the visitors. But all seemed normal, her house and land undisturbed. Peering inside found everything as she left it if a bit dusty. Yet she couldn't shake the feeling of being watched, of lurking unseen eyes all around. Each small sound in the brush now took on new meaning, sending her nerves jangling.

Days passed with no further sightings, though rumors continued spreading through town of strange lights and encounters. Most still doubted, but Sarah saw the uncertainty growing in people's eyes. The local general store became a meeting place, where
