Unknown Destiny

The fence stood crooked, weathered by time; his hand grasps the cold wire, trembling. From the distant tower, a light flickers—hope, or warning? Beneath, a bone lies half-buried, frosted by morning chill. Luring whispers drift through the trees, bound to no tongue. It’s a trap, he knows, but still, he steps forward. The earth cracks underfoot. A fan hums somewhere unseen, steady, mechanical. His chest swells with dread as the fog thickens. One slip, and he’s lost. Still, he walks, drawn not by bravery, but by something older—curiosity, or perhaps fate. Behind him, the fence closes silently, sealing the path.

**Full Disclosure: I used ChatGPT. ** I had the idea and asked them to create this story, which I then modified. Interesting what it came up with!
