Glow
Cheza
A small bird, a matches to be exact, fluttered through the plains, wondering why she came
here of all places. Then she stopped suddenly, and gazed up at the full moon, which lit her way.
Something...something called me here. But what? And why? How could I possible be of any use to anyone or anything? Negative thoughts ran through her head as her eyes welled with tears. How she missed her forest home!
There was a rustle in the tall grass behind her and she wheeled around with a gasp. "Who...who's there?" she gasped out. Then her eyes widened as she saw...darkness. The moonlight hit everthing, allowing the matches to see all...except one area. The moon beams reached towards it but just cut off as it hit. Scared, she scrambled backwards and fell. Then she gasped again when she saw something...lines of lights within the darkness. Somehow, it calmed her.
