Ava Scott lived a simple life. She enjoyed her quiet home, settled between the beach and the woods, spending late nights reading in her bedroom where she could view the world outside her window. Everything she ever wanted could be found within the four walls of her home.

One night, everything changes for Ava when the very thing she loved to watch outside her room the most came to visit her. Though she has no idea how, the moon has come to visit her, but Ava has no idea what the moon has in mind. She learns very quickly when the moon decides to recruit her into becoming one of the things that she fears most.

Prompts:

34. You wanted to go to the moon, see the silvery white glow of it for yourself. Instead, the moon came to you. One day, at your door.
