The Human Luna

The trees were huge and most of them formed canopies that blocked out the sun during the day and the moon at night. There was undergrowth too, flowers of all kinds. The scenery was so captivating, one could literarily spend a lifetime doing nothing but admiring it. There were many Fir and Cedar trees all around. Black cherry, Beech, Elm, and sycamore were all around too. The flowers were countless as they were beautiful and their beauty would rival Snow White in all her elegance. To say this forest was cut out of utopia would be an understatement. The colors all fell in line as though rhythmically. Sheila had gone on taking a picture every here and there. She was so engrossed and her excitement knew no bounds. She had felt alive in the cold that would have numbed anyone else. She would scream at the sight of a flower she hadn't noticed before taking a picture of it, taking care to make it as beautiful as she could. Sheila had gone on and on for a long while before her flas

Chapter 4Sheila ran until her saliva became as cold as ice water left on a windowsill in Russia. The bear had not been slowed down by its size or her speed, it was catching up to Sheila, and it was determined. It felt challenged buy Sheila’s act of bravery. As Sheila came near the waterfall, the noise nearly defending her, she turned just in time to see another creature attack the beast. She kept her speed and ran off. The new predator had bought her time. She hadn’t seen the new predator but it had been huge and with the way it had joined the fight, it was agile and fast. She didn’t have any strength left in her legs and she was hyperventilating. If the new creature happened to win the battle and decided to give her a chase, she might not be able to hold out as she had done to the bear. Despite being extremely fatigued, Sheila pushed herself onward. She couldn’t afford to die, not now that she was ready to have fun. Not now that she has decided to move on. Not now that she was

Chapter 6Sheila kept stealing glances at Garrett on intervals. She will stare at him for a while, and when he turns to his side to look back at her, she will quickly look away.She felt the urge to engage him in a conversation but didn’t know how to imitate it. “Garrett,” she gently called his name looking down and unable to look into his eyes.“Yes,” Garrett who knew exactly what her question was replied.“Sheila dear, do you always have to talk?” he quizzed, letting out a smile.“What!!” Sheila exclaimed! Looking into his eyes this time around.“Garrett, do you mean to say that I talk too much?” she asked, giving a mean look.“Okay, that’s fine. No more talking!” she vexed, folding her arms and maintaining a straight face. ‘She wouldn’t talk to him again’ she thought“Okay, I’m sorry Sheila. Believe me, I didn’t mean to upset you. I mean, it wasn’t intentional.” He apologized.“Apologies not accepted!” she blurted, still maintaining a serious face.“But I said I am sorry! Listen, I

Chapter 8“They will definitely like you, in fact, love you.” he stated, looking back at her.“What makes you so certain?” “Because you are their Luna!” he replies.“Their,” Sheila whispers, slightly looking away from him. “Who are they?” she anxiously asked. “We are close already,” he stated. “When we get there, you will know.” “Okay,” she nods. Without knowing what the term Luna entails. The term is even strange in her mouth as she tries to pronounce it.They walked more for a while before they arrived. Garrett brings her to a beautiful city. She stares in awe of it. She had never seen a beautiful city as such. She kept looking around feeding her eyes on the things her eyes were beholding. She stops at a particular spot staring at a beautiful flower she had seen. “Oh my God! This is indeed beautiful and I love it!” she grinned. She smells the flowers perceiving that it smells really nice. “Garrett I love this!” she blurted.“Common Sheila, there is more to see. We shouldn’t spend
