Snow crunched under Aiden’s feet as he struggled ahead. Winter blew in with force months ago, after something had fallen from space. He approached a crater with a shiny orb in its center. The orb appeared to be glowing red, as if it had absorbed the heat from the land. When he approached, the orb shot into the air, then disappeared into the sky. Once it left, there was a noticeable change in the temperature. Aiden, having completed his task, set off back towards his home to share his story and wonder about the orb.
