Chapter 1: Oak Tree
As I sit, back rested on the concave portion of the trunk. The trunk of an old withered oak tree, as it's last set of leaves start to fall, flying off across the valley of soft green grass. Grass that glistens in the sun, as the wind frolicks through, and brushes my hair to and fro, finally a chance to relax from the life that haunts me so.

Calm is the center of my facial features, but insanity runs wildly through my mind. Body is a cold machine that goes through the motions, and the mind is cozy warm place with an Orange Glow, with corners and hallways that end in darkness.

Sometimes I feel trapped, stuck in a corner trying to head back to the warmth of the orange glow, but unable to, I won't let myself. The base of this reason is that knowledge comes before one's own joy, spending time in the darkness allows one to truly understand why, why we struggle for the orange glow, and why we continue to live.

Pondering these thoughts, the sun is crossing the mountain tops, leaving behind trails of red and orange. The moon, never late for it's work, drifting in the darkening sky. I can hear the wind pick up speed, as I stand up, ending my thoughtful moment.

Slight pain and sore spots become noticeable as I'm walking, and my scarf becomes a wind sock each time a gust goes by. In the distance, the clouds are growing and sounds start to erupt from the grey mist. I then turn to my car... "What is that??"
