It been an hour now since they have been walking, in this dead forest. They were so many strange thing about the forest that were quite abnormal. Unlike his earth, the forest didn't have birds, perching anywhere. Not one!
Ever since he had been walking, he could bet that a bird hasn't flied at all. Not even a whistle of birds had be heard by him. It was quite strange though.
Normally, by now he should be hearing the chips and whistles of different kinds birds around the trees. At least, that was how it was done in movies, right?
Another weird thing was the dead silence. It was like a fog rolling in off the nearby hills. Jake's eyes couldn't help it but kept on scanning the seemly desolate landscape meanwhile it was dense forest.
His mind was just reeling with the strangeness of it all. No birds sang, no monkeys chattered, no leaves rustled. As a matter of fact; the only sound was their soft crunch of their footsteps on the dry underbrush.
