Prompt:
Imagine the bustling metropolis growing smaller and smaller as you run further and further away. Imagine the earthy scent of the pine trees, followed by the bone-chilling gust of wind. Imagine the trees disappearing, imagine being heartbreakingly alone in a world of monochrome. Imagine the cracks in the mountain range, imagine shivering in the icy winter wind. Imagine the ragged rocks, imagine blindness in the blizzard. Imagine sharp grey, pointed white. Imagine nothing. Imagine blackness.
Now imagine warmth and darkness, not quite the warmth of a campfire, but the warmth of not being at the center of an ice storm. Imagine huddling against something solid, comforting compared to the treacherous, collapsing snow. Imagine a spark in the darkness, a sliver of red and green and blue. Imagine gems and fortune.
After running away, after suffering through that journey, you claim the Gem Cave as your new home. Here is an escape from wild nature, from rude others, from reality. Past the light, past the dark, you feel safe.
This is nowhere, this is nothing, this is everything. No one will ever find you here.
This is your escape.
