Lost On Ghost Hill

You are walking in a wasteland of low wind, sharp-edged and splintering vegetation, and desperate ghosts. They try to beguile you, but you are a magician and if you whistle, or make a flute, perhaps you can call them into your service instead, and escape. Low wind, eerie rattles and shivers, whistles, duduk, dizi flute. Walking, heavy breathing, chopped and cracking wood. Birdsong at the end.
