110. Long winding roads in the forest that appear to have the same section repeat over and over again so that you feel like youre stuck in an infinite loop (12.5 points)
Nominated by: NFUN (1/5 remaining)


Importance: 3
Fear: 3.5
Snake: 6

Long winding roads in the forest are certainly creepy, but genuinely, how often does this really happen? I'm a semi-experienced hiker, and have rarely seen this type of thing occur, even just starting out. It seems like something more delegated to horror stories, representing our autopilot schedules through long lives or our endless longing for change that never comes. Even then, no specific examples come to mind. There are certain films, like Blair Witch Project, which presents a forest environment that is hostile to its travelers, or the looping hallways of P.T. that manifests repetitive, traumatic thoughts as a physical moment in time. Yet, though they come close, those don't quite get what this nomination is getting at, but I similarly struggle to chase this from my thoughts. It's something I feel has potential in both fear & beauty, a lasting moment in which we can brute force ourselves out of or choose to reside in its illusory world of comforting rhythm, content in the tranquil simplicity it brings. It all depends on your point of view I suppose.
