It took us far too long to realise that the Northern Lights were gone. The nights were left to the stars and humanity fought to place the blame somewhere - anywhere but themselves. It was only a matter of weeks before the nightmares began, the long deep dreams that sucked you in and kept you wandering a burning forest for months on end.
When the Lights came back we were too overjoyed to realise that they were so much lower than they had once been. Too many generations had come and gone since they were last seen that nobody really knew what they were supposed to look like.
They didn't stop the nightmares like we thought they would, they just brought the dreams to reality instead. People would fall asleep in their beds, fall into the endless burning dreams and wake up days or even weeks later in an unfamiliar forest with ash-black hands.
Every year since the Lights came back more and more people have fallen into the endless sleep. Every year since the Lights came back they have continued to grow harsher, more vibrant and move lower as they empty the northern hemisphere of all waking life.
The world is glowing brighter and growing quieter than ever before.
