I haven't posted in a while... I'll get better about that. This is another one of my older stories. It's short a bit on the short side.
She sat on a lonely cliff and stared at the dark sky, scanning it for some sign of the sun. The wind howled and the air was bitter cold, but she didn’t seem to notice. The sky was pitch black but, thankfully, there were other ways to count time during the long cold night. The idea of her getting off of sunrise-cliff to ask a time-keeper would have been laughable had she considered it. Her eyes never left the dark horizon, she never even blinked. If she did then there was a possibility she might miss the sun’s appearance, or even worse, it would never appear at all.
