_In the Woods_

Deep within the Nigerian forest of Okomu, four friends – Nnamdi, Ada, Chidi, and Amaka – ventured on a camping trip.

As night fell, they gathered around the campfire, sharing scary stories. Amaka spoke of the evil spirits said to roam the woods.

Suddenly, twigs snapped, and leaves rustled. The friends exchanged nervous glances.

"Nnamdi, did you hear that?" Ada whispered.

Nnamdi investigated, but found nothing. As he returned, a faint whisper echoed through the trees: "Leave now."

Chidi scoffed, "Just the wind."

But the whispers grew louder, more urgent. The friends felt an eerie presence closing in.

Amaka disappeared into the darkness. Her screams echoed through the forest.

The remaining three frantically searched for Amaka. The whispers ceased, replaced by an unsettling silence.

Deep in the woods, they stumbled upon an ancient ritual site. Amaka lay on the altar, her eyes black as coal.

As they approached, the trees seemed to twist, forming grotesque faces. The air thickened with malevolent energy.

Nnamdi, Ada, and Chidi fled, pursued by unseen forces. The woods seemed to shift, trapping them.

One by one, the friends vanished.

The next morning, police found Nnamdi's camera, buried in the underbrush. The footage revealed the horrific truth:

Amaka's transformation, the twisted faces in the trees, and the eerie whispers.

The police never found the friends. The Okomu forest remained, shrouded in an eternal, terrifying mystery.
