I walked through the underbrush of the woods that surrounded my house, the full moon lighting my way with its luminous glow, the cool breeze whipped my hair around gently as I went. Everything was calm and quiet, the only sounds where of the deer foraging for whatever food they could find underneath the blanket of snow that covered the ground. I would spot one every now and then right before it took off, hearing my approach and mistaking me for a predator.
Up ahead I could see the clearing that my brother would take me to everyday after lunch to play and I picked up my pace, a smile playing across my lips. I broke through the tree line and walked into the middle of the clearing, looking up at the beautiful night sky. There were millions of stars, some red or blue, scattered across the inky black canvas of the night sky. The Aura Borealis danced across the sky, its beautiful colors shining brighter than the moon and stars.
The sight was breathtakingly beautiful. This is what I walked all the way out here for, to see this amazing sight. Clearing snow from an area on the ground and laying down a thick wool blanket, I laid down and watched it dance across the sky. Just then, I heard a loud snap, like a twig being stepped on, and it all suddenly vanished, like someone had flipped a switch and turned it off, leaving nothing but the moon.
I sat up in shock, wondering what was going on. Then I watched at the moon turned blood red right before my eyes. The breeze picked up all around me and a bone-chilling howl echoed through the air. Suddenly, the entire forest that surrounded me burst into flames and ash gently fell down to the ground like snow.
