She was running in the night.
It was cold, and her canvas shoes were soaked with water.
Suddenly, snow began falling and covered the ground of the forest like icing sugar.
She jumped over a creek bed and landed gracefully on the other side.
Her legs hurt, and her throat was burning, but she kept on running ; she found this feeling so pleasant ! To be able to move as she pleases, control each part of her body and exceed her limits ! It was marvelous !
All around her, she heard the muffled sounds of the forest. She saw a glint of the corner of her eye ; the moon was reflecting in a pond where a stag was drinking.
Without slowing down, but in silence, the young girl got nearer the majestic animal ; the brilliant light of the moon was reflecting in its eyes, like a glimmer of hope. She stayed there a long time, siting near the pond, watching the silver circle.
Her eyes slowly opened. The young girl sat straight as best as she could and turned her eyes to her wheelchair. She looked up at her skylight, wherefrom she saw the eclipse of the moon ; in the sky, that glint that looked so much like a glimmer of hope had disappeared.
She fell back in her bed and let out a sigh ; never could she run.
