Hiker Investigates Suspicious Sounds, Falls Right Into A Trap

He Was Lost

It was as if his legs were on fire. This was the longest hike he had ever taken. Though he thought he was almost there, he was never able to locate the end.

The wet mulch beneath his boots scrunched with every step he took. As the exhausted man grew more worried, he realized he was miles from civilization.

If anything were to happen to him, no one would be able to find him. The man was lost.

Hiking Expert

After hiking the Appalachian trail for weeks, Ben Stone thought he had seen everything. A sound caught his attention one day as he walked through the dense forest.

Even though he was a seasoned hiker on the Appalachian trail, his age now prevented him from tackling the expert trails like he once did.

What once was easy for him was now quite challenging.

The Sounds

Occasionally a twig snapped and leaves rustled, making him nervous. Every sound sounded louder than it actually was as if his mind was playing tricks on him.

Bears and other wild animals lived in the area, and the thought of coming across one terrified him to his very core.

As time passed, he only became more paranoid.

Walking For Days

He had been walking for days, and the rugged terrain was wearing him out. In the late afternoon, the sun was setting, and it was time to set up camp.

Throughout the trees, the mournful wail echoed. The first thing he thought was that it was a lost cub crying for its mother, but the closer he got, the clearer it became.

But was it safe to go any closer?

Human Baby

It sounded like the cry of a human baby. The sounds that Ben was hearing caused his heart to race. He hoped that his ears were misleading him.

It seemed like he was hearing and seeing things at the same time. Despite this, Ben couldn’t ignore the cry, which prompted him to seek out the source of the sound.

But what would he stumble across?
