1931 Winter: The Time of the Oasis/Interlude 1

Synopsis
On December 29, 1931. a young boy is playing alone in a forest, against the wishes of his parents. Though they had warned him that bad things could happen in the woods, he had wanted to prove he was old enough to walk through the woods without being afraid, so he had entered them voluntarily without the input of anyone else. While in the woods, the boy hasn't encountered anything like coyotes or wolves, something that disappoints him as he carries on, although the absence of those animals would be considered strange to any adult.

The boy then sees 'him' from a distance, something large and imposing that should not have been in the forest. Terrified when 'he' turns 'his' head towards him, the boy runs as fast as he can out of the woods and makes it all the way back to his home and into his bed without telling a single person about what he saw.
