Professor Mitchell Cameron was quite content existing as he was, numb, uncaring, and uninvolved. He had given up on anything that might awaken his senses, except for Jessie...he believed in Jessie. He loved her. But Jessie's view of life was quite different from his...she cared too much about everything, which is too much for anyone. In the end, she felt so empty from trying so hard, it finally killed her. Now all Mitchell had left was his loss. He felt no rage or disgust, just numb...until that one day. He walked into the woods, as he had many times before, but this time things were very different. He was led to what so many, including myself, had assumed didn't exist: the Forest. The place where creatures discuss all kinds of matters like life, love, hate, war, peace, abuse, murder, punishment, goodness, happiness, grief, marriage, trust, faith, and on and on. Everyone in the Forest, young and old, is fully alive and vibrant and, as Dr. Cameron found out, this place can be found easily if you follow the guidelines. Afterall, it is only a Whisper away.
