The place is not on a map. A guide won’t take you there. It is unknown and uncared about by many. But for those who seek refuge there, it is called Ruby Hollow. It is a place of solitude, silence, and safety.

Ruby Hollow is in the midst of a dark forest. It is made up of by a dozen ancient trees in a sloppy circle. The branches of the trees are interwoven to create a strong, enveloping wall of leaves and wood. The trunks are reddish in color and are as thick as three men standing in a huddle. The branches come out in perfect angles to climb on and above your worries.

The roots portrude from the ground, creating a mesmerizing jigsaw puzzle of wooden snakes and the leaves are blanketed on the ground so you are completely immersed in the secret place of Ruby Hollow.

Inside it, you can hide safely for hours, escaping your worries and responsibilities. Unhappy thoughts are seemingly wiped away as you sit and revel in fhe silent strength of the wooden guards. And you know you couldn’t be safer anywhere else.
