Crimson-red clouds cover the sky. They cast a dark shadow of the lake; the water looks like black stained glass. The breeze blowing, sends shivers parading across the waters surface. The air is damp; scene fresh from the recent spring rain.

A man walks; shovel in hand. A shaggy- black dog follows; guided by a thick metal chain-leash; rattling, wrapped tightly around the man's waist.

The mud is waist high.

The Midnight sky cool.

A woman walks; chair in hand. She is alone. A shiny black cat crosses her path; tail up, yellow eyes. Mouse's tail hanging from it's mouth.

A catfish surfaces. The glow of the moon's reflection, rippling across the lake.

A dragonfly lands on a blade of grass; tipping it into the water's edge. Beautiful colors; shaded by the color of midnight.

The woman watching the dog; watching the man; watching the catfish; reaching for the dragonfly.
