The thin material of your shift did little to keep the freezing chills off your skin. Ripples all over your arms of where the snow shivered up, and yet you barley felt it below. Your feet bare walking along the snow and ice, only you couldn’t see for how long it went on for. The night was dark but it faded around you to a pitch black that obscured your ability to move anywhere but forward. You could see your breathe with every passing puff of air passing your lips.
Silence was in the air, not even the blow of wind could be hear even though the ends of your shift flowed around below you as you walked forward. No signs of life or anything and yet you kept walking, the need to see what was at the end of this snowy path you were brought to was more important then turning around and finding a way home.
A small hill came up in the view, the steepness of the incline and snow under your feet caused you to stumble, grasping onto the trees around you to steady yourself. A large mass came up into your eyeline as you passed over the edge. Eyes narrowing as you jumped down onto the flat surface you came upon grass. Green and sun as if a light snow had just melted days before as the air warmed right around you. The sounds of water ran by as you came up to the figure, only a sharp set of antlers sticking from it.
Kneeling down in front of it, the mud stained the edge of your shift as the warmer, slightly humid air around you dried it faster. Your eyes widened at the sight, the inside of it’s mouth stained with blood and it’s eyes pale and open, it was a great stag on it’s side. It’s stomach gutted open and flies zipping around the growing rot and moss overtaking it. Looking up to it’s head a bloody snapped section of its antlers were missing.
Standing up, the sounds of water called to you. Looking at the stag with narrowed eyes, lips slightly parted until it fell away into the darkness that kept you encased in your directions. A small steep hill to the clearing beside the water was lush, but as you came upon a second mass it was covered in fur and laying too on it’s side.
