As Daphne runs down the path, her hair flying in the wind, she turns to look back. A man is running after her. She arrives at a crossroads. Taking the path on her right, she moves by a fountain, and the sound of the water muffles her footsteps.
She runs into the woods and hides behind a tree. She can’t see her pursuer but he has to be nearby. Something starts to happen. Daphne feels her feet stuck to the ground. She tries to move but her hair is entangled in one of the branches.
Her feet sink in the mud as she hugs the tree. Her hair, entangled in the branches, goes down with the rest of her body. He calls her while stumping on the ground. Daphne sinks up to her neck and his boot comes within inches of her face, but he doesn’t see her.
She stops sinking while the man rests on a boulder, then he walks away. Daphne can’t move and her skin hardens with the mud and water.
