I used to frequently go on these late walks so I could see the sky when it’s in twilight, just before the stars come in. Back then I was extremely careful and I always checked behind me and all my surroundings, and only walked in good areas, but then there was an incident and I now I’m too afraid to go on walks anymore.

I miss it so much, hearing the frogs from the creek, the crickets from the fields, shy skinny deer coming out from the forest, the faint lights from houses high up on the rolling hills and bluffs.
