The Dark Forest

The forest was a vast cage, locking everything inside. Chaos and darkness fermented within it. Some fought back, while others sank into despair...

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

"You've seen it too. This damn monopoly has taken root. If things keep going this way, we'll all die."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Break the forest! Ease the monopoly, or even destroy it!"

"We might not be able to do it in our lifetimes..."

"If one generation can't do it, then two will. Generation after generation, I refuse to believe we can't break this damn law of the forest!"

"You could die."

"Someone has to make a sacrifice. This time, let it be me..."

For the first time in over a hundred years, someone tried to leave the forest. Perhaps he would become the first ray of light to illuminate its darkest reaches.
