The moonlight streamed through the thick, interwoven branches of the trees lining the winding path, illuminating the face of a man. The man was panting, out of breath as he ran in terror, occasionally looking behind him, as if he was being chased. Footsteps, too loud to be the man's, rang through the forest, as a fearsome beast, the source of his terror, tore through the trees, gaining on him. He gave his best effort, but could jot outrun the beast. He fought until the end, not giving up despite knowing he was defeated, even as it swallowed him whole.

    Really smart take on the classic scene, very descriptive and fast paced
