He came to the conclusion that he should wait longer, and so he did. After a while, Jared finally decided it was safe to continue. Every little sound made him jump, but after a while, he shrugged it off as a mountain lion or some other animal, knowing that they can make the strangest sounds. But his relief came to an end not even a minute afterwards, for he heard the sound again, this time much closer. He came to realize it sounded nothing like any animal he’s ever heard. He jerked his head to the direction he heard the noise from and saw a humanoid figure. It was tall, at least 10 feet, and had had long arms that came down below its knees. Adrenaline kicked in and Jared sprinted as fast as he could, not looking back. After he could not run anymore he stopped to hide behind a large tree.

Jared hesitated, unsure of what to do next. He took a deep breath and decided to wait a little longer before continuing. Every rustle of the leaves made his heart race, but he tried to convince himself it was just a harmless animal. However, his relief was short-lived as the strange sound returned, closer this time. It was unlike anything he had ever heard before. Turning his head towards the noise, Jared's eyes widened in fear as he saw a towering humanoid figure with unnaturally long arms. Panic surged through him and he took off running, not daring to look back. Exhausted, he finally stopped behind a thick tree, trying to catch his breath.
