“Some things are hard to write about. After something happens to you, you go to write it down, and either you over dramatize it, or underplay it, exaggerate the wrong parts or ignore the important ones. At any rate, you never write it quite the way you want to.”

— Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

Linger by the Cranberries but you’re out in the woods, all alone. You were smart (sort of) and managed to build a lean-to to keep you sheltered from the sudden storm, but now you’re stuck here… Watching the fire crackle and hiss.

You have your radio on in case of forest fire (though you don’t quite understand how to use it, and you’re not sure you’d know if there was an emergency broadcast). It makes a delicate hissing noise that you can hardly hear over the wind and rain. Endless white noise.

Then, out of nowhere, a song. A song that’s familiar in an unfamiliar way– you know it, but couldn’t sing it. Hear the words but can’t understand them.

You lean back. Close your eyes. And wonder if anyone’s missing you.

Clair De Lune by Claude Debussy except you’re exploring a supposedly haunted cave at night, and it seems to just start playing somewhere in the depths. As you head toward the source of the music and as it gets louder, you begin to hear whispers.
