As she walked, the void seemed to shift and change around her. Sometimes it was dark and cold, other times it was bright and hot. She tried to keep track of where she was going, but it was impossible. There were no landmarks, no sense of direction. It was as if she was walking in circles, trapped in an endless, timeless limbo.

One day, as she was trudging through a particularly desolate stretch of nothingness, she saw something in the distance. It was a faint light, flickering and dancing on the horizon. She couldn't believe it. After so long in the darkness, could it be that she had finally found a way out?

She picked up her pace, her heart pounding with hope. As she drew closer to the light, she could see that it was coming from a small, ancient-looking door. It was carved with intricate symbols and patterns, and it seemed to glow with a strange, otherworldly energy.

Without hesitation, the girl reached out and touched the door. It swung open with a creaking sound, and a blast of cold air hit her in the face. She stepped through the threshold and found herself in a vast, dark forest. It was nighttime, and the moon was full and bright overhead.

The girl couldn't believe it. She had finally escaped the void, and she was free. But as she looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, a creeping sense of dread began to rise within her. She had no idea where she was, or how she would find her way home.

She took a deep breath and started walking, determined to find a way out of the forest. But as she went deeper and deeper into the trees, she realized that she was not alone. There were strange noises all around her, rustling in the underbrush and whispering in the wind. And she could feel a pair of cold, unblinking eyes watching her from the darkness.

The girl turned and ran, her heart pounding in her chest. She knew that whatever was following her was not human, and it wanted to hurt her. She ran and ran, her legs burning with the effort. But no matter how fast she went, she couldn't shake the feeling that she was being chased.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, she burst through the trees and into a clearing. She collapsed to her knees, panting and sobbing with relief. She had made it out of the forest, and she was safe.

But as she looked up, she saw that she was not alone in the clearing. Standing before her was a figure draped in shadows, its face hidden in the darkness. The girl screamed as the figure reached out and touched her, and everything went black.

When she woke up, she was back in the void, trapped once again in the timeless darkness. And she knew that she would never escape, not truly. She was doomed to wander the void forever, haunted by the horrors that lurked within. The end
