Moon
One evening, traveling through the forest, you stumble upon the ruins of
an abandoned village. Exhausted from the day's travels, you set up camp in
the remains of one of the houses. You lay your head down to rest and slowly drift
off to sleep. But it feels like as soon as you start to dream, you awaken...
The ruins of the village you were in seem to have vanished, as
if you'd slept for a thousand years. Only a few scattered bricks remain,
outlining the remains of foundations and basements scattered throughout the clearing of
overgrown grass. Even stranger, the moon is incredibly bright - everything around you
is bathed in an uncannily bright silver light broken up by harsh, inky shadows.
The pond in the center of the village reflects the moon overhead.
As you stand there gazing into its reflection
and listening to the waters of the creek that runs through the village, you feel
as if time itself has frozen, or maybe that it never existed at all.
