The Lost Maiden


In the middle of spring, a maiden chases after a mischievous fox. Racing through the afternoon lite meadow where wildflowers blossoms, the fox tumbles into the woods. Refusing to give up her pursuit, the maiden abandons the bumbling ladybugs of the meadow and journeys into the woods. As she follows the fox, the sun's light grows distant as frightening trees obscure the sun. Despite her best efforts, the maiden fails to catch up with the fox. And deep within the woods, there isn't even a whisper of sunlight. As she cries with exhaustion, the maiden realizes she is forever lost. END.
