The spirals twist and turn ever so in the direction of a clock. She runs bolded and determined, but with bundles of nerves. Her hair red as the burning fire being blown back by the air drafts, but not strong enough to cease her from moving on forward. The rhythmic beat of the music grows louder and louder like the sound of a roaring, red fire ready to initiate the path destined to take.
