The New King
The fire cracked and spit forth sparks as the dry piece of wood released the last of its air. The sparks sailed up before falling back to earth, the bright embers fading as their heat died away. Now, it was just ash that would soon mix with the dirt and be forgotten. Those gathered around the fire did not particularly like the wild and jumping tendrils of death that whirled about in front of them. But it was part of the ceremony for choosing a new leader, a ritual that births a new king of the forest. Buffalo watched the flames dance, losing himself in the fond memories of his life. His time was passing and soon, he would be with his ancestors. Before that, however, a new leader must be chosen. It was an important position, not envious but necessary for the way of the woods and prairie to continue. Sitting in a semi-circle facing buffalo were a group of other animals, six to be exact. Three who wished to be the next king and three who were chosen to assist them.

Ahead, the moon in the night sky glowed with purpose and intent. Deep blues outlined the distant horizon as darkness swept across the sky. Stars sparkled, twinkling in the night, providing a breathtaking view. The moon lit up the sky, casting a gentle light. It was an unforgettable moment of beauty and serenity. The sky roared as thunder rolled in. Lightning flashed against the backdrop of the night sky, illuminating the landscape in a brilliant display of power. The storm was quickly rolling in, threatening to disrupt the tranquil atmosphere. Rain began to fall, bringing to life a living ambiance to the beautiful night.

Etched out ghost town . Top Story - March 2023.
Red was always trying to figure out who she was. She always sought out male friends over female, even as she usually had many female friends. She felt comfortable kicking back and cursing and talking loudly about crass subjects she had absolutely no idea about, but felt happy to sink into with her male compatriots.
