Piney Woods

I'm running to the woods with my pack. I see the blurs of reds, browns, and blacks of each wolf's fur and I follow. I speed up; I am Alpha and I should be leading the pack. My white paws crush the snow with each rapid step. I am in front and now we are in the woods. I slow down and the pack follows. I hear something, and my solid white fur stands on end. I take a whiff, and I smell a family of deer and another doe further in the woods. I crouch, a motion the rest of the wolves copy. Our ears…

A gunshot rings in my ears, and the wind roars around me. Panting I don’t look back at the foggy and gloomy sky. Noises, whispers and voices follow me into the wall of dark muddied trees. The cold air pierces my throat as I inhale faster. My heart beats more rapidly with every step I take deeper into the wilderness. I think I have shaken them from my path and they are trailing far behind me in the distance. I hear the voices again, this time they sound like they are right next to me. I run, I…

So running in the woods, playing war, looking for bugs, and building forts was an immense part of my childhood. The greatest woods I ever roamed are at my cabin in Park Rapids, just four hours north of St. Paul. The colors of each season are so rich surrounding Bottle Lake. I do not know how to explain this innocent, untouched…

Through the woods, one can find many things: both expected and unexpected. However, there is a reason children are told never to play in the forest at night. This collection of trees and wildlife is dark, mysterious, and incredibly thick. The tall trees seem to radiate a sense of wonder, yes, but also terror. A place of mystery, this is by no means a place for children. Suddenly, a young boy in a green cape breaks through the trees. He is being chased by unseen forces. Although they are never…

experimentation with writing happens as writers feel the need to, maybe not say something completely new, but to say it in an innovative way. This is how new genres, such as American fabulism, are born, coming out of comparable stories like “The Man in the Woods” by Shirley Jackson and “The Summer People” by Kelly Link. There are many distinguishable features belonging to fabulist stories, so many that not all of them could be named, and Jackson and Link incorporate just a few. Both use realism…

destroying all of the forest around them and turning it to ash. The fire continued to burn voraciously by moving farther into the forest, incinerating everything it touched completely. After it had passed and moved away farther along in the woods, the woods were desolate. Most of the trees were nothing but ashes, and the forest floor had disappeared into the fire. There were no rabbits, no deer, no grasshoppers, no fireflies, and none of anything else which lived in the forest only moments ago.…

Shing wanted all of that to himself. But he had no idea. Until his enviousness gave him one. “Let’s meet up in the woods tomorrow,” Shing offered as Lutena and Jason were heading out the door. “Sure,” they said together. More anger and resentment built up in Shing as they looked at each other and giggled. The fresh, crisp air suddenly turned sour. Lutena and Jason went into the woods a bit early, as it was Jason’s idea. He wanted to take that advantage to have Lutena more than a friend. As…
