Press on

You decide that staying on the move is your best bet for survival. After all, staying put would just make you a sitting duck for whatever creatures lurk in this forest.

You walk for hours down a dirt path worn into the forest floor, the songbirds your only company, until you come to a fork.

One path leads down what looks like a more dense section of the forest. Light seems to struggle to penetrate the tree canopy shrouding the ground and path in shadow. You might have an easier time avoiding being seen if you take this path. But other creatures could be equally well hidden and you could find yourself walking into an ambush.

The other path leads out into open fields and meadows, you can even see rolling hills on the horizon. Taking this path would make it almost impossible for something to sneak up on you, but if a creature came hunting you, you would be left with few options to hide.
