As she looked at the sky she noticed stars peering through the branches above her.
Camping was a great idea, she decided.
While she lay contentedly gazing up at the sky her eyes began to close.
She had spent all day hiking up to this point and it was so warm outside.
Putting her glasses beside her she relaxed in her sleeping bag.
In between languid blinks, the stars above her changed colour.
It started with just a few red ones, twinkling away like the rest.
Before she was fully aware most of the stars were red.
Worrying she sat up, trying to peer at the stars, squinting at their fuzzy outlines.
Hastily putting on her glasses she didn't see stars.
She saw eyes, blinking at her, glaring down from the forest canopy.
They began to move in.
