At night in the woods

Hi all, this is my first time posting a poem! It’s about a time I was out walking in the woods by my house and lost track of time. I had to walk back home in the dark..

Shadowy figures racing through the trees. A pale face in the darkness, but just for a moment. A twig snaps; I hold my breath.

A group of men in the distance become trees as I pass. Something stalking me, just out of sight. My casual walk is now a sprint.

A second pair of footsteps? Or my own? Noone sane would be out this late. I take the shortcut, off the path.

I've lost my way. Have I got turned around? A light in the distance. Home must be close.
