The moon looked brighter that day. The yellow colour formed a picturesque sight against the dark and the creepy sky. The chillness in the air grazed her gently and she shivered inwardly against the cold. Adding to her earthly worries was the decision she had made.
She adjusted the lamp and the shadow fell on top of the paper which she had placed on the uneven wooden table. She drew the table near to her and a screeching noise echoed through the room disrupting the eerie silence. She shuddered and looked inside her home for any signs of her act having caused a disturbance. But, being blessed sleepers, her family dreamed peacefully and their achievements in the dreams was not disturbed.
She gave a deep sigh and the night seemed to reflect her emotions. The events that had happened to her in the past month had changed her a lot. Though she had tried hard not to do what she had decided to do, her heart was never at peace with the previous decision, and finally, she had to surrender to her soul's ominous looking desire.
She took her fountain pen and opened the cap with obvious anxiety. Her soft hands smoothed out the paper, which looked dull and boring in the gloomy light from the lamp. She had made up her mind to do it then and no power on earth can prevent her from doing it.
With her face oozing with confidence, and her mouth forming a small smile, she got down to her work, and immersed herself in unrealistic realms.
