And so begins her journey into the dark.

Policeman: But she came round in the end.
Couldn't keep away.
Always thinking about these woods.
Just like you.
Then one day she said “let's go in.”
I nearly cried. My girl.
I did warn her.
Bad things happen to girls in woods.
Said I wasn't sure I'd control myself.
But she wanted to so much.
And she took my hand see.
So I led her in.
She was so sweet.
We talked all the way.
And when we got here she made me dig her that hole.
Begged me.
What could I do?
I wanted to help.
See, I loved her too.
