The forest was quiet that night. The moonlight softly filtering through the canopy. The cooling breeze shifting through and the silent sounds of insects down in the forest floor.

A voice pierced through the night. It was a soft lilting sound. A whisper to be truthful really.

I couldn't quite hear it. So, I shushed the insects and made them go away.

The voice repeated itself. But it still went unheard. I shifted the breeze away so that the leaved wouldn't rustle.

I still couldn't quite hear it. Angry, I tore away the trees and threw them aside.

Suddenly I could hear the voice clearly. I cried.

I broke down with only the moon as my company. Its light shining softly on my back.
