The Deep Forest

I was surrounded by huge, high reaching trees which had branches winding around high above me, each carrying a heavy canopy of leaves which only let a small number of faint rays of light to reach the ground. The forest around me was quiet and only the breeze rustling through the canopy broke the lasting silence which seemed to engulf me. Nothing lived here but the trees and the small plants which snaked along the ground, feeding off of whatever light they could manage to collect. Yet here I was a normal human being, easily walking through this untamed wilderness.
