Nefarious Shadows

Petals drifted through the air like floating incense, as fireworks crowned the long street bright, the crowds surging, ceaseless and alive. Red fish shimmered in the water's glow, where wavering shadows lingered, moving slow. In the curling smoke, hidden paths appeared in fleeting glimpses. Lose not your way among the ornate towers. Still your gaze—for the wavering lantern light hides secrets yet to be seen.
