The Fox

• Artist: RingoNoCha
• Description: Okay, I'm not sure if this is too short to be a story or not but here goes: the setting is a forest clearing if you missed it. Oh, and I'm not sure who the girl is; it's just based off a dream I had. Opinions and such would be lovely if possible, thanks for reading, everyone.

As the figure steps into the twilight of the moonlit clearing it's appearance was revealed, a distinctly feminine figure largely obscured by a long weathered trench coat and a mask. The mask glowed in the moonlight, as if moonlight shone from within the mask itself. The mask was beautiful; a Kitsune* mask fashioned of a smooth white stone, not unlike marble. It was painted painted with red along the edges, around the edges of the mouth, and around the eye holes. As she takes one more step into the clearing she glances out around the clearing, eyes glittering a stunning blood red as she does so. Not having seen what she wants she takes one step forward and is gone, dissipating into the night. Only one sign is left that she ever existed there, a set of fox tracks leading across the clearing and back into the forest on the other side.

*Fox, Japanese language

Much appreciated, this is mostly just a concept idea, I think I'll re-enter it when I've improved it to my usual standards~^^

I like it, it's good!
kinda like a microfiction though, with it's shortness and everything (www.onefifty.com.au - go there for explanation...)

The style and concept behind the text is unique. The details were great, but in a story this small, I would recommend a little more detail actually if you want to "wow" people with this length. Especially if it was your dream, make others believe you had it too: include everything.
