It was so peaceful here, the wind nuzzling up to my neck as the frosty cold breezes fulfilled the
atmosphere. I buried my foot shuffling through the array of degrading rocks feeling what it would be
like to step bare foot into this landscape while breathing in the fresh scent of tea tree leaves and
hearing the birds hanging on the branches of the trees chirping joyfully away at the quietness
nature. With each step I took I could hear the whistling of the winds growing more intense as the
shades on the great blue sky slowly faded beautifully into a bright flamed orange sunset. It was the
peak golden hour of nature starting to flourish in their sleeps as the birds swiftly floated away
amidst the sunset that melted into the fogged cerulean blue evening sky. There I stood shivering as
my hands almost felt frozen like frostbite and my mouth began to run dry in the cold. I swallowed
my fear at the potential of the weather knowing that it would devour the heat out of my body for for
one night if I stayed here any longer. Gradually the cold fogs start to cover the peaks of the
ginormous mountains and I started to conjure up the cold sweats on my face and forehead feeling
nervous about encountering the unknown surprises of the weather. I felt my head started to
become numb with the cold headaches that are pounding endlessly causing me to be drowsy
almost feeling like I would faint at any second now. The wind was blowing so intensely that I started
to feel my legs become numb and cold as if I felt weak at the knees that I could not muster to stand
up. Slowly I meekly curled myself into a ball hugging my legs to my upper body which was
outstandingly freezing from the wind blowing from the trees. I stared up into the midnight sky which
were lit up with a thousand tiny micro stars that shimmered in the atmosphere.
