This place is far from any cities. It was an isolated village with a population of 127 people. The village has an old aesthetic with cobblestone roads, no form of transportation except walking with friendly neiborghs. Everyone knew everyone. It had absolutely no crime or form of bad behaviour. This village was beautiful, this village was sweet, this village was perfect, but not for me.

The place I was brought up in was half a mile down the cobble road from the village. The first thing that you'd notice was a lone willow tree with a small pond in front of it. If you'd look to your left then you could see the cottage I grew up in. I had to admit it was beautiful but it still wasn't for me. Even the wild blue orchids that grew or the blossoms on the Lilly pads couldn't persuade me to favour it.

My favourite place was in the forest that surrounded the cottage, willow tree and pond. The long but thin grass would tickle my ankles as I walked through and the trees seemed to look down to me with respect. But the tree I used to respect was 27 feet long and over 300 feet high. That still wasn't my perfect place. No, my perfect place was on the other side of the tree. An abandoned cabin. It was beautiful. It had a mossy roof with vines and flowers growing the the windows, chimney and floor boards. Inside it was nothing like the scary dark cabins you see in movies. It was the complete opposite. It was something from a fairytale Dreamland. By day you could hear birds chirping, wind singing and even see trees dancing. By night the soothing sound of the owls sound could make a vampire drift off, the trees and wind settle for the night as the natural light of the moon shined through the flower pieces windows

The night I fell asleep against the tree, vines hugged me as did the bark of the tree. My life is now fulfilled as since I see that sight every second of every day and night of my life. I've never been happier as I am now part of my perfect place standing at 300 feet high.
