For An Anthro Christmas contest.


Show some light to friend in dark.
----

During the winter, forest is not always the friendliest place to be. Worst even if you are afraid of the dark.

The Raccoon boy here couldn’t fall asleep either, because of the dark. So he just sat there, on his alder tree branch and shivered of fear. He wanted to sleep so much, but he couldn’t even get his eyes closed because of all the shadows and noise the trees were making.

Suddenly, a light appeared in the forest – just a flicker, but definitely a light. That was interesting and scary at the same time – who would be out at this hour? Then another light came out of the shadows and another, till six of them appeared, undulating between the trees.

“Who’s there?” he cried faintly, voice trembling, palms clinging around the alder even stronger.

“Me.” The unhurried voice replied and a Moose came out from the shadows.

“What are these?” the Raccoon boy asked staring fixedly at the lights that shined as pure day. They were beautiful like six little suns attached to the Moose’ antlers.

“Your Christmas wish.” The Moose said softly taking his place next to little alder the Raccoon boy was on.
