Bulky Grey Shapes: Mistaken in the distance. I remember seeing huge boulders dimly appearing before me through the thick fog. I could almost feel their presence before physically seeing them. They loomed silently, eerie but not threatening. It was mid-morning late in October; the mist looked like it was going to stay all day. But now, outside on the moorland, the smell of the damp earth and dead bracken filled my nostrils. Reminding me of the rotten floorboards of an old, reclaimed house I had once known. The air was cool and the moisture in it wet the clothes, but you did not notice until you touched them with your hands.
