Compose a short description of a forest setting with leaves on the ground.

The sense of death and decay is pervasive, and not even the sound of crickets chirping disturbs the air. The damp leaves underfoot make no sound, and the thick canopy above makes the determination of time impossible. The smell of decay grows stronger, as every step disturbs the rotting leaves and releases their pungent aroma into the stagnant air.
