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 do not exist physically. I float around after death. I go to heaven after 40 days.
You can see me? Yes, of course. Am I not supposed to? Most do not! They pretend that they cannot hear me Oh, well, hello. It's nice to meet you. I'm an owl. Seen any mice around? I'm hungry. There are mice running all around the floor of this forest. There goes one now MINE! STAY BACK! Oh, um... excuse me... dog eat dog world, you know. You can have it! I have no need for it Thankyou. So, what do you do out here? I'm just floating around waiting out my 40 days before going to heaven 40 days? What does that mean? Why do you have to wait? I don't know, some rule about 40 days. I am on day 39 Humans sure are weird. So whatever happens, happens tomorrow?
