As she begins to slowly piece things together, the Doctor is trapped in the local mental hospital. What happened? And how will they fix it?

1. Prologue

The Woods- Introduction

The dark, mysterious forest loomed over the one road into the small American town. They blew in the wind, casting a sinister shadow over the haunting library that concealed the town's dark past, documented in old, yellowing newspaper clippings locked in the basement. The articles all seemed to say the same thing. Someone went into the woods and never came out. The oldest of the articles was dated April 17, 1920. The first one.

On the other side of the small Washington town, a little girl followed a cat into the woods. As she walked through the dense trees, she saw bits of the past. Old, faded balls that had long been forgotten, kicked into the woods and left to fade and deflate. As the girl continued on, having lost sight of the cat long ago, she heard a scream. Turning her head, frightened, she saw nothing. She tried to flee the dreaded woods, but only accomplished getting more lost.

The little girl was lost and alone as the wind russled the trees. She heard soft singing, but could not see a source. The trees! The young girl thought. The trees must be singing!

There was a flash of light, and suddenly, the little girl's crumpled form fell to the ground.

End.

More coming soon.
