THE CROSSROADS

[personal profile] performing 2012-02-25 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
A huge moon hangs low and dominant in the sky, providing just enough light to see by. You are standing at a crossroads. Several clear paths fan out before you, and one trails off into darkness behind you. There is a faintly-glowing signpost set in your midst.

Every now and then, if you strain your ears, you can hear distant clattering sounds, like chains clinking together. Otherwise, everything is very still.

The signpost is about the height of a grown adult, glowing pale silvery-white in color. There are a multitude of sign arrows, more than there are paths. There is writing on them, but in a weird mix of languages--English and something indecipherable, where large parts of the wording haven't just been etched out.

At its top it is crowned with a small yellow-light lantern, and at its base it spreads out into roots, sinking into the ground and vanishing.

As for listening, it's hard to tell what direction that sound is coming from.

The path itself is dimly lit, glowing dull gray, but everything else is completely dark; as soon as you set a foot this way, the moon itself seems to wink out, as if swallowed whole.

There are ruins off in the distance, tall broken buildings and things bent at jagged angles. More immediately, three of the paths lead to clearly-visible destinations, as if lit from beneath by spotlights: a familiar forest butting up against tall cliffs; a tall impressive building with heavy iron gates; and a circus.

The way back disappears slowly into darkness.
