Feeling Like I'm Being Hunted

Being alone in the woods hunted by giant spiders that can take people without you seeing them at all can be a little scary. Ok a lot scary, it can be even worse when you literally hear nothing, no birds, no wind, no annoying woodland creatures. You start for lack of a better term, jumping at shadows. Everything becomes something that can kill you, and I do mean everything. Brush a stick while walking? It will be the thing that gets you, trip a bit? OH NOES ROOT BASED MONSTERS!! I was so frightened of everything I was close to being catatonic.

Maybe it was the fact it was giant spiders, I've always hated spiders, so the fact these were specifically giant crafted to be horrible spiders might have had an effect on me. Also all the recent events in my life had left me shaken, not exactly put together. I wasn't having a mental breakdown or anything, but I was definitely having a moment of heightened anxiety and fear. It actually was helpful to know I could still be absolutely terrified, if only alarming that this revelation had to come when I was on GIANT FREAKING SPIDER ISLAND!

I was still thinking sort of rationally so I knew sitting in the jungle waiting to be eaten was a bad idea, so I made my way to the resort. For two reasons really. One the road was actually cleared which left less of a chance for the creatures to get me from above, and two, it might have had some kind of safe room or other modern convenience to protect myself from horrific spider death (seemed like as good an idea as any). The entire time as I was on my way over there I couldn't shake the feeling I was being hunted.

I mean I knew I probably was, obviously the damned spiders were all around, but at the same time, I also suspected I was being hunted by something that wasn't a spider. I dunno you get the feeling when a person is hunting you over a creature, and I definitely had that feeling, all the way over to the remains of the resort, of course when I go to the resort I had all kinds of new problems that a general sense of uneasyness was a very minor concern!
