What do i do now?

To the right and to the left, all he saw was darkness. Every tree looked the same as the last…a circle? No, it cant be. He pulled out his knife and started to mark the trees one by one, so he knew where he was headed. An unmarked tree ment a new path, but where did it lead? More darkness, he looked up to see the moon laughing at him, as it often did. But wait! A light, is it possible he had reached the end? Could he be found after all these years by this light? That made him think…how long had it been? He started to run toward the light, thinking he could finally escape. But he forgot to look down, he tripped over something very sturdy and went flying to the ground. “What the hell!” he screamed as he got back up to his feet. He turned around to find a body laying on the ground with flys all over it…”What do i do now?”
