Jack stood at the forest\u2019s edge, inhaling the cool, pine-scented air\u2014a sharp contrast to the sterile city life he\u2019d left behind. He came to the secluded cabin for peace and self-discovery. What he found was far beyond reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A rational software engineer, Jack never believed in the mystical. Yet something about this forest tugged at his soul. As darkness deepened, a strange, pulsing glow appeared deep in the trees.
