(This was an exercise where we had to create a setting)

The ground is dark dirt, but it feels light like a feather and grainy like sand. Your feet feel the dusty ground between your toes. You look up and see trees that have a green glow in the moonlight. Though the glow is not from the night sky. You move closer and touch the rough bark of the tree, it has sharp edges to it so if you move your hand the wrong way it could easily cut you.

Your feet begin the feel soft grass that blows in the subtle breeze as you move. The air begins to get cooler as you move through the forest towards the glow. It gets brighter and brighter as you avoid the knifelike trees with drenching leaves that try to cover you. You move closer and closer until you see an emerald green lake that enchants you at the sight. Golden lily pads, with blue vines. All the colors seemed to be unnatural. Purple schools of fish glide together in unison. Sharp crystals point out of rocks surrounding the pond, with varieties of colors. Blues, greens, oranges, and red. All on navy blue stones with neon moss covering it.
