It was cold outside. Stars were falling, ice and snow, swirling little pearls that were ripping holes into the darkness of the vast, vast sky. His naked feet felt cold against the frozen ground. Swift like a storm he danced through the night, like the shadow, that he was once taught to be.
(Forced to be.) The streets were empty, everyone seemed to be sleeping in their beds, far from cold, far from worry. He was the only person left; The only one that was still willing to walk.
