The Night We Died Irene Husk

Maria and Tom Dawson were the only two people that held the secret of Springbrook Woods. Was the dark mystery that had baffled their quiet town, about to be revealed and what impact would it have on all those involved. How sweet is revenge, and how final is justice for a brother and sister caught up in their own web of lies? Oh, how we loved the infinite freedom and the clean fresh air as we danced wildly, through the woods, safe in the knowledge that we were undetected, as we swung our arms high and thrashed around in total abandonment. We were so happy in those days. Siblings lost in their innocent joy. Those carefree days that now seem so far away, it was as if it had all happened in another life. My brother was dead and my own life was at an end. The woods held a different meaning now, a deep dark secret had shrouded my love for the trees. My beautiful trees, a clouded oppressive recollection that lived inside my soul had destroyed the love of them.
