#4 Setting As Character

The clouds hang low in the sky creating a dark shadow over me. I have been here for almost 75 years, in the same place, in the same woods, alone. The trees that surround me were once so young and fragile but over time they have grown tall and now protect me. They act like a shelter holding out everything that could possible come in and harm me. Not even things that could potentially make me happy are let in because the large, overgrown, dull grey trees frighten anything that comes my way. Alone I sit in the woods wishing I could be something more than a worn down house.
