What and Who is my Story About?

My Story for the creative project is about a man who has returned to a town which he left many years ago, but he can not remember why he left in the first place and the main reason he has come back to the town is to find out why he left in the first place. As the man returns to the town, he immediately realises that nothing in the town is the same; the town is almost empty of residents, the buildings and streets are run down. However, the man soon comes to realise that the forest which leads out of the town, which none of the remaining citizens dare talk about or venture into, the man realises that the answer to his question about why he left and why the town is not at its former glory is inside this forest.
