Red is Coming to Town
The sounds of Christmas carols echoed in the small valley of Pallet Town. All the townspeople were snuggled up with their loved ones by the fire, drinking cocoa, and waiting for the arrival of Santa Claus on this cold Christmas Eve night.
If one listened closely enough, they could hear another sound; one of tired feet treading through the unforgiving snow. Not many travelers went out of their way to see the quaint little town. If they did, it wouldn't be at this time of night.
Lights shined through the windows of the townspeople's homes, reflecting off the untouched snow. They served as assistance for the outsider, guiding him to his destination.
The destination was nothing special; A house, like all the others stood in front of him. Same seasonal music, same shining light, same everything. The only thing different was the single woman sitting inside. She was not surrounded by loved ones, she did not have the fire lit, her cocoa was replaced with cheap champagne, her eyes scrolling through ancient photos that serve no importance now.
Carols are the only thing to be heard in the small town of Pallet before the outsider continues on. Year after year, he never once broke the lonely bond they shared.
No one was listening that night, just like the wind, Red came and went.
