The knot of anxiety that had formed in Jack's stomach tightened, as the battery to his flashlight flickered several times before giving out, plunging him into darkness. "'Max!' the voice echoed, unnervingly close. Jack's breath hitched. He turned in circles, trying to catch any sign of movement, any hint of where the voice was coming from.

The forest was now a maze of shadows, each one hiding potential danger." Who's there? Jack shouted, his voice breaking with fear. What do you want? Silence. Then a low, guttural laugh echoed through the trees, sending shivers down Jack's spine. He backed away, his eyes wide, straining to see anything in the encroaching darkness. The laughter chased him deeper into the forest.

Jack turned and ran, ignoring the branches that whipped at his face and the roots that tried to trip him. He had to find Max. He had to get out of these woods. But as he ran, the forest grew darker, the trail more indistinguishable. Jack's footsteps echoed in the silence, each one a reminder of how alone he was. His heart pounded in his ears, his breath coming in desperate gasps.

Suddenly he stumbled into a small clearing, the last light of the setting sun casting a dim glow over the area. Jack collapsed to his knees, panting heavily. He looked around, hoping to see Max, but the clearing was empty. Max! Max! he whispered, his voice breaking. Tears welled up in his eyes as he realized the full extent of his situation.

Jack glanced at the sky through the dense canopy, noting the sun's rapid descent. The threat of darkness was closing in, and with it came a growing sense of dread. "'Jack!' The voice came, warped and distorted, as if the forest itself was trying to mimic him. Jack's blood ran cold. He stopped dead in his tracks, straining to listen." Jack.
