Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.

-Albert Einstein


The woods are lovely at night, I wish I could stay. My dress is covered in mud, and there are wolves who come close to the village as the sun leaves the sky. I run out of the forest at the thought of wolves, entering the pumpkin patch. Each of the green pumpkins are the size of my head. I speed through the rest of the pumpkin patch and towards the little brown house. The door screeches like a dragon, probably waking up Maire, my younger sister. I tiptoe into the house to see Papa sitting at the table.

"Orlaith, I told you not to be back so late." The floor is suddenly captivating. 

"Sorry, Papa. I could not help myself; the forest is magical at night. I wanted to see a faerie!" I smile wide at him, hoping that he is not angry. 

"All right, but this is the last time." He winks at me and looks down at his huge book. I hug him, say goodnight, and walk to my bedroom. I tiptoe across the room since Maire asleep. After pulling off my muddy dress, I slip into my white nightgown and into bed. As I fall asleep, I think of the cave I saw in the woods today that I am forbidden to explore.
