The path quickly narrows and darkens upon entering the forest.  Dense branches overhead block all but a few stray rays of sunshine.  Fallen leaves just beginning to rot blanket the forest floor, and every footstep kicks up a rich, loamy scent as fresh ground is unearthed.

I'm an owl that comes out at night. I love to fly. I spend my time hunting for mice and other creatures I can eat. I live in the forest with lots of other animals.
I do love to fly I float more than fly but I'm pretty quick. Not having a body really reduces the drag. I bet, maybe I should just save my energy for hunting I don't have to eat. I'm only a ghost for 40 days and then I get to go to heaven. Just 23 more days to go! Really, I didn't think that was how it worked. I thought it was heaven or hell, where do you think you will go? I was told I'll end up in heaven. I was a pretty good person. I just had one minor incident, but nothing too serious. It was more of a misunderstanding than anything. I'm very hungry have you seen any mice scurry by No, but I'd love to help you look for some. I'm incredibly bored. Not eating or sleeping leaves a lot of free time. Well if you find me some, maybe we can race after I have a snack. I eat other creatures too Yeah, I've got 23 days and nothing to do. I'll help you catch whatever you want. Mice, squirrels, chipmunks...you name it. I like mice the most Then we'll go looking for mice. Do  we set out traps to catch them?
