When I awoke this morning I was in the cabin, which I had built. It's where I should have been after all where else would I have gone in my sleep? It was rather warm in the cabin because it had been cold out lately I decided to finally sleep with the heater on. I walked over to the windows in the living room and opened the long curtains that were blocking out the sun. I let the sunlight pour into my living room and this inspired me to go into the kitchen and cook my parents breakfast because it was so peaceful. My parents don't live with me so this means I would have to take it to them, which was alright with me, it gave me a chance to go outside and soak up some sun, if it wasn't that cold of course. I walked into the kitchen and looked around, it was so clean and the sink seemed to be sparkling it was really nice to see. I looked through the cabinets and found the ingredients to make them some banana nut muffins. I hoped they would turn out good. As I put them in the oven to cook I continued on to my room to get ready. I walked through the long hallway that I had filled with many memories caught in photos. I loved to have most pictures up and out where people could see. Then I finally reached my room which had one single window and it was big. I picked out and outfit that would keep me warm on my walk and picked up the muffins from the kitchen and proceeded to my parent's house.
The field that I have to cross to get to my parents house is pretty long, I'd say it's about a mile in length. I love walking through it though. It's really beautiful. Today it isn't as cold as I expected it to be because as I look across this massive field I see various animals moving about. I look out far ahead of me and I believe I see a deer but it's too far to tell if it really is. I think back to this field during the spring. Every year it grows my favorite flowers, sunflowers. It isn't spring right now so there are no sunflowers in sight, this brings my joy down just a little bit, but it's ok. I know that just the last bits and pieces of this green grass is enough color, for now. Soon there will only be brown and yellow grass throughout the whole field. I hear something scurrying around to my left and as I turn I see the back end of a rabbit dashing behind a large tree. I hope it doesn't get to cold for him tonight. I also hope that these muffins stay warm because I'm almost done crossing this field, and when I do I will still have to climb the great mountain before I reach my parents house. This might take a while.
As I stand at the base of this mountain I'm starting to wonder if I should have just driven to their house because the temperature is beginning to drop. I think I should turn back, no I already came this far why not just take their breakfast all the way. I start climbing and it’s very rocky so I’m going to have to watch my balance as I continue on, walking on a rocky mountain is no easy task, especially when you have a basket of muffins in one hand and the other hand is beginning to freeze. When I finally look up I see that I'm already half way there which surprises me. How long had I been here it didn't even seem that long. Now that I think about it did get really cold this is because of the higher altitude. I know that these poor muffins better not freeze along with me. Before I know it I reach the last few steps to the top of the mountain. That is when I finally see it, and this is not any ordinary building.
I saw how extraordinary this place looked. It was almost just made from the Earth itself. It was coming up out of the ground and it almost look like an animal’s home only it was much bigger. I think this place was made for humans but not made by humans. It was really interesting to look at. It was almost all green and I found this odd because it was so cold outside did not even have leaves the only green tree's left anywhere were the evergreens. So anyway, this tree was green and it had flowers scattered about the exterior. This was what looked to be a spiritual place. I walked around to the other side and see that it has a door. I hesitate for a moment and listen for any sort of sound either from behind me or from behind this door. I cannot hear a thing. It is so quiet and I began to wonder why I do not hear any animals moving about either. This is disturbing me and I want to go inside because it is getting really cold outside.
I knock on the door and there is no answer. I call out, "Hello?” still no answer. So I open the door. As I peer inside that this place is one of religion and faith. I wonder to myself, "Who in their right mind would make a place so random like this; I'm actually getting a bad feeling about all of it". The inside looks sort of like an old building you would see somewhere in Europe in one of those older countries that have been around for ages. I am admiring how beautifully this structure has been put together inside and out, and then I finally hear the first sound that I have heard in a long time. I follow where I heard it come from and to my surprise I find my parents.
