DAWN
The world is dark and silent.
Only pin-points of twinkling light in the sky provide illumination.
A slight wind rustles the leaves, concealed by the shadows of darkness.
The silence continues.
The stars slowly fade in the black sky as a solitary ray of light breaks the horizon
And a single chirp from a lone bird signals the dawn of a new day.
The silence continues.
Slowly, more waves of light wash the horizon
Spreading a warm glow across the vast breadth of the heavens
Silhouetting jagged mountain peaks in the distance.
The grasses and dried leaves of the forest floor crackle as their inhabitants begin to stir
Quickly dartin
