So I gotta break my own rules for this chapter. This is not a short story, but a poem I've written for @TryHardElephant 's contest. I'm supposed to write a poem or short story with a specified setting, which is The Outback, Australia, in my case. Enjoy!

Environmental Creativity Round
Secret Meeting
Restless dingos howling,
The hazel sands waking from their slumber
They leaped in playful ringlets with the rhythm of the night wind,
Not minding the pair of bare feet that walked pass them
A grotesque mixture of impatience and excitement in his pace.
Stooping into the darkness, down he went
The weary underground cave so used to his visit
The next second, the night was lifted—
As a spurt of lighted match came ablaze
Burning in wondrous blue.
She was here, just like all those nights before
Nights so full of secrets, of unleashed passions
Entangling them in unison
As they embraced, as they danced
To the two forbidden hearts beating each to each.
