As the Fire Dies

This feels like home base. You're next to a small but robust fire. You're cozy in your sleeping bag lying next to it. The warmth of the fire radiates comfortably. The night sky remains clear and full of stars, as if someone threw glitter upward and it all stuck. To the left, there's a forest. A light powdering of snow blankets almost everything around you. You'll have to keep this fire stoked. It might affect the quality of your dreams.

{You're careful moving through the woods, so you go as slowly and quietly as possible. Unfamiliar sounds and smells already abound, and it's eerily peaceful. Any sound you make might affect an entire ecosystem.} [[Return to the fire->fireStart]] [[Wait in the darkness->owlTime]]

You've arrived at a large, expansive area. A 30-foot tall, bearded man stands guarding a massive arched gate, the height of a skyscraper. Nearby, a white tree stands tall and looming, like a willow tree that might provide shade on a sunny day. A large but friendly dog bounds across the open pathways. A truck-sized model of the solar system has moving parts that whirl around in all the ways they should.
