Near Lost City Forest
Madison Wisconsin, 2010
The City of Madison was know for its deep culture and surrounding forest with trees as old as time itself. On the edge of town just off of Martin St. sat the deep wooods of Lost City Forest.
Near the end of Martin Street with it's back facing the towering forest was Ms. Amy's modest 2 story home. After her husband had died and her kid's grown she converted her home into a place for foster children.
19 yr old Natasha Benton had been one of her first resident's. Natasha's parent's had been murdered in a carjacking when she ws 15 leaving her with no one to take her in. So as it was she came to live with Ms. Amy.
Natasha loved to take long walks through the forest behing her house altho she never wandered off the trails for some unknown reason that day she did.
"This could be Lothlorien", she said aloud as her gaze slowly traveled to the endless treetop's. "Oh, if only". she sighed tears misting her eye's.
Natasha was a huge fan of The Lord of the Ring's movies and her heart held a special fondness for the courageous Captain of the Galadrim. Haldir the Marchwarden of Lorien was in her dreams often and Natasha would let her thought's get away from her as she caressed the face of the strikingly handsome elf. She had turned her room into a haven devoted to Tolkien's films.
Suddenly a cluster of bird's scattered from the branches of the tree's startling Natasha making her jerk backward. She didn't see the tree root hidden on the leaves and foleage on the ground. her ankle caught and with a shrill scream she tumbled down the small revine, her head colliding with the tree trunk. Natasha quickly sat up as a wave of dizziness struck her and then blackness.
