The captain had never come this far up the river, and he was starting to regret his decision to explore the unknown territory. As he navigated his boat around the bend, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. The trees seemed to lean in closer, blocking out the sunlight and casting eerie shadows across the water. And then, he saw it - a fork in the river, with one branch leading further into the dense forest, and the other winding its way back towards the safety of town. The captain hesitated for a moment, weighing his options. He could turn back and head for home, or he could brave the unknown and see where the other branch of the river led. It was a difficult decision, but in the end, his curiosity got the better of him and he steered his boat towards the mysterious path. |
