It wont be that good cuz i wrote it 2 years ago and it was my first story.
I was running thourgh the forest, confused, unable to find a way out. Even when I looked up i didnt know where i was becasue the tree tops are so thick. I heard a small clap of thunder off in the distance. There was no way to tell where it was coming from. The forest was silent. Not a single animal was around. The only noise i could hear was the thunder. Slowly, each boom was getting louder. I was getting more worried with each minute that passed. There was no wind. Everything was completely still. It was humid, but no rain. There was a loud clap of thunder and a flash a lighting. I opened my eyes.

Also do a little more show and a little less tell. Example, instead of I was running, confused, unable to find a way out. Try; I was running; flying past unfamiliar trees and shrubs. Everywhere seemed to be a dead end, and my heart beat sped up with panic, as I felt trapped by the forest.
or something like that.

Just my 2 cents. Disregard if you so desire. |

Using descriptive phrases rather than simple nouns and adjectives can change your writing into something so much better, although it's a good start regardless. I could feel the anxiety and, sort of, rushed/fleeing feeling through the whole paragraph, which is something most people have a hard time doing, switching feelings into words. I'd read more. |
