Jared, Josias, Bryan, and Michael were playing video games at Jared and Josias’ house. After a while, they began to get bored and were discussing over what they should do next. It was 7 pm at the time. Parents were talking in the living room while the four friends played in Jared’s room. They decided to sneak out to the backyard to play, since they knew the parent’s wouldn’t approve of them going outdoors at night. They then agreed over the game hide and seek and went out to hide in the dense forest while Jared got stuck as the seeker. After counting to 100, he went out to go look for them. After about 20 minutes passed, he decided to give up for it was getting real dark out. He yelled out, “Okay guys, you win!” There was no response so he yelled again, “You can come out now!” Still, nobody answered. Jared assumed they were simply playing around, trying to scare him. “I’m going inside and unless you want to sleep outside, I’d suggest you join me!”, he called out. He turned to go back inside, but could not find his home. Realization hit, and he knew he was lost.

use the same story but make it sound better. Like how you would write a novel if you know what I mean

The dim glow of the setting sun cast long shadows across the backyard, where Jared, Josias, Bryan, and Michael were engrossed in a competitive game of hide and seek. Laughter filled the air as the boys darted between trees and bushes, trying to outwit each other in the fading light.

As the minutes ticked by, Jared found himself alone in the dense forest, the sounds of his friends' hushed whispers fading into the distance. With a mixture of excitement and trepidation, he began his search, counting to one hundred before setting off into the shadows.

But as the minutes turned into hours, Jared's confidence began to wane. The darkness closed in around him, the rustling leaves and eerie silence playing tricks on his mind. Desperation clawed at his chest as he called out to his friends, only to be met with a heavy silence that seemed to mock his growing unease.

Realization dawned on Jared as he stumbled through the unfamiliar terrain, his heart racing with fear. Lost in the depths of the forest, a shiver ran down his spine as he realized that the game had taken a dangerous turn. With a sinking feeling in his gut, Jared knew that he was truly alone in the dark, and that the night held secrets that even he may not be prepared to face.
