"Forest Peace" - Carrot

A woman laying in the grass, the birds twittering and fluttering from branch to branch, root to root, the cool breeze swaying the leaves in a sort of dance, the sun shed its light onto the dappled clearing, as the birds made their music for the trees.

All the while the woman laid in the center, her face gentle and full of bliss. The soft green grass caresses her with a gentle touch as she lay, sleeping deeply. This place was once her home, and in a way it still was.

This is where she always wished she would die.
