35 - December 15

Topic: Write about moon shadows

     The land was blanketed with a fresh layer of snow, twinkling like a million diamonds in the moonlight.  In the darkened window, a small face could be seen, gazing out into the night.  The house was entirely dark, sitting in the middle of a small opening in the forest.  No other houses, towns or cities were near, so there was nothing to break the night sky.  A full moon, stars close enough to touch, and the sparkling snow.  It was a breath-taking sight.
     The pale curtains were pulled back a little further so the small face to come close to pressing her nose to the window. In the cold. the window lightly fogged and frosted beneath her nose. 
     Suddenly she felt a slight tugging on the blanket that was wrapped around her.  She looked over.  The little boy took the opportunity and crawled up under the blanket and beside her on the chair.
     A sleepy voice asked, "Katie, why are you still up?  What are you looking at?"
     "Shhhh," she whispered to him as she pulled his little body closer and covered him.  "I'm just looking at the pretty scene.  Isn't it something?"
     "It's just snow in the moonlight."
