An Earthstar Short: Love is Grim

Eight-year old Morrigan Grimlove sat in her tent that warm summer night. There was a gentle breeze and the sky was illuminated with the twinkles of hundreds of stars, dancing like crystal lanterns high above the farmstead. Crickets chirped, frogs croaked and the tall grass swayed ever so slightly. This was truly a beautiful summer night, the kind that was the pinnacle of childhood wonder.

Coincidentally, she had also received this very rifle that year.
