WALTZ OF FIREFLIES... I was more like limping behind my friends while walking into the school campus. We had the map but still got stuck in the middle of the school campus as we didn't know which path to take after a certain place called "marshy fields". I thought my life was finally going to come to an end as it was the place where devouring ghosts were said to roam widely. I also started hearing unusual sounds like a ghost growling over behind my back. I felt like my lingering soul had left me behind in tears! For a minute, I couldn't hear any voices as my fear conspired my whole body. One of my friends said,"Get a hold of yourself! Its just the hooting of owls!" Fortunately, I came back to my senses because of my friend's voice. But the next minute, the place was suddenly lit up with glowing, sparking lights! I was in a state of bewilderment! Astonishingly, the place turned out to be so beautiful with glimmering colours. My friends stayed awestruck looking at it and started yelling," Wowww, what a wonderful sight!" Yes, it was the fireflies that came out of the fields to sing their blissful song. I couldn't believe my own eyes at the sight of fireflies. It was just like a welcoming song, flying up above the fields waltzing with their friends, flapping their dashing, beautiful wings! Their song somehow warmed my heart as it slowly melted my heart away. It was such a unexpected and enchanting waltz. I, myself felt like dancing to their song in quaver beats! Their timing and rhythm perfectly matched their bewitching song. It brought back so many cherished memories of my life and felt like I travelled back to the past. It was surely a rare sight for me, who only thought that ghosts existed in my school. The thought of ghosts vanished in a second and I was having my own pleasure watching their waltz. The only thing I wished was that the moment could have lasted for some time! Through the light of fireflies, we found our destination and grabbed the ceramic bowl. We went back to the location, where miss Katherine was waiting for us to return. We understood it was a test to examine our courage! Our group were the only ones who scored full points in the test. I learnt that even a monstrous circumstance could turn up to be a beautiful memory to cherish forever as well as to bring back memories! - the end............ - Swetha. ©Tiny glowing star!
