It finally came! The largest moon of the year!

Auuuu! It was big…

Auuuu! It was shiny…

I knew it was coming but it took me by surprise anyhow. Things seemed just as normal as always. Fish were swimming, people fishing, tomorrow’s lunches looked promising… Sun wasn’t even properly down yet when it came. Like a huge fireball behind the hills, up it went. Giant red ball took over everything. Its presence was touchable. Fish stopped biting, wind stopped blowing, I stopped moving…
It was saying “stop everything and listen“. The message was powerful. I felt the hair on my back coming out.

Fishing rod was on the ground. People ran away. Waves started crashing the shore spraying thin layers of salty mist over the orange-lit rocks.

Running!

Poof… Pant…

Stairs, door, stairs, door… where was it? There! Backpack with The tool was waiting near the closet door, ready for action.

The calling was strong again, clouds must have cleared, white-yellow light shined the room’s wall through the window again. The majesty was ready!

Now back on the shore again The tool started firing. 28 times 30 second exposures. Majesty will be pleased.

Music started playing across the sea, the giant red feisty fire ball turned very bright white by now and found its place up, near the top of the sky, shining its cold light on the skin-changing wolves who danced in its celebration.

My torso was wet. I was laying down with The tool in front of me, pointing to the moon. Clouds briefly hid it again. Not completely, but just enough to weaken its influence. Time to run again, find a way to the room, close the blinds…

…escape the madness, and live another day…
