Foreshadowing in Nature’s Whisper
On the cusp of dawn, the forest lay shrouded in an almost imperceptible mist, as if holding its breath in anticipation. The trees, ancient and weathered, stood silent guardians over the land, their branches creaking softly in the cool breeze. Somewhere in the distance, a wolf’s distant howl pierced the quiet, a haunting melody that seemed to echo through the silent woods. As the first light of sun attempted to pierce the dense canopy, a faint rustling among the undergrowth hinted at an unseen presence lurking, yet unseen, amidst the shadows. The air grew heavier with the scent of damp earth and impending change, as if nature itself was whispering secrets of what was to come, just beyond the horizon of awareness.
