The Man Behind The River Poem
1 You wake up. The light from above, it's too bright. You can feel the cold breeze as you begin to get up from the damp and mossy ground. As your eyes begin to adjust to the bright light, you see a dark figure in the distance. You start to notice that you are in the middle of a forest. You begin to see that the dark figure is a man.
