“My 76-Year-Old Grandpa Took Me Into the Woods Every Day and Made Me Undress Until I Was Half-Naked. But One Day, My Mother Secretly Followed Us and Heard Strange Screams Coming From Deep Inside the Forest. When She Got Closer and Saw What We Were Actually Doing, Her Heart Couldn’t Take It. She Fell to Her Knees and Burst Into Tears…”

“No! I’ve heard everything!”

Grandpa slowly approached us.

“Sarah, you’ve misunderstood.”

“Then explain yourself! Why are you here? Why does my daughter come home trembling with fear every single day?”

Grandpa pointed toward the opposite bank.

There, behind a large tree, stood an old wooden bench.

Beside the bench sat a woman in a wheelchair.

My mother froze.

“Who… who is that?”

The woman lifted her head.

“Sarah?”

All the color drained from my mother’s face.

“Oh my God… Mary?”

Mary had been my mother’s best friend since childhood.

Twenty-five years earlier, they had been together in these very woods when a sudden flood caused the stream to rise.

My mother had slipped, and Mary had tried to help her.

After that incident, Mary suffered a serious injury and had struggled to walk for years.
