Lightning strikes the tree
Inside is a big surprise
Sparkling bright diamonds

[Appeal]

Leaves blow softly in the wind, shuffling across the branches without care.

A mango falls from the tree above.

A buck below finds himself coming face to face with the mango before it continues toward the floor of the swamp.

The buck walks away, turning up his nose.

I lay on the floor as he walks away, longing for the safety of the tree once more.

[Appeal]

Up, and Down.
Up, and Down.
The shore nearby.
Blue and white.
Seagulls call.
Up, and Down.
Up, and Down.

"I'm yellow," she said.

[Appeal]

High above the cloud line, rays of bright light shined down softly on the world below, warming the life of the world and bringing hope to the darkness.

[Appeal]

Strong.

Supportive.

Uplifting.

Bound.

[Appeal]

Dirt.

Grass.

Tree.

Leaves.

Sky.

Suddenly the word escaped all thoughts.

[Appeal]

A pile of rocks sat under a tree. They were perfectly aligned. Neat.

[Appeal]

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wish you weren't so far!
Up above the deep blue sky,
Some night may I get so high?

[Appeal]

Take a deep breath.

Take a walk.

Take a nap.

Eat at midnight.

Sleep at noon.

Enjoy.

Heavy hooves carried through the swamp until they reached a twisting tree. Hundreds of eyes watched as the creature stopped short of the tree. No one seemed to understand, and the heavy hooves began knocking against the tree.

"May I?" The voice asked once but never more.

The eyes came out of the darkness to form hundreds of crows, and they swarmed until the hooves were no longer seen.

[Appeal]

Cold and dark surrounds
Struggling to breathe deeply
Once more with feeling

[Appeal]

Always running by
Do not stop for anything
Bones lay under dirt

[Appeal]

The darkness covered the swamp as hooves carefully struggled to find footing. Suddenly, there was a thud. Embarrassment practically lit their way now as they watched where they stepped.

[Appeal]

The moon was bright in the sky, piercing through the canopy of trees that overhung across the swamp. The darkness brought a calm to the swamp, a silence that hung across the realm. It was broken by an echo in the distance, a sound that could be described as wolves celebrating danced through the air.
