In the last bit of morning darkness, Reg was beginning to see the light reflecting on the frost blanketing the thin wood. Ahead of him, the branches shimmered with the same twinkling of the stars above, the effect was mirrored all around. This golden time only lasted for a short while. As the sky grew to hide the stars, the morning light would melt away the sharpness of the ice, then it would progress into its typical cold and wet bright twilight. The stars had been particularly bright when Reg had slipped out of the cabin to make his way to a simple hunting blind. Reg was sitting with a growling belly in the blind when the first drop of melting dew from high up fell and splashed on the stock of his 30-06. This morning was a cold one. Light was growing, but today it was failing to drive off the chill of night. A few drops of unfrozen dew had fallen from the high trees but everything around him remained frosted. The first time he had been out this early, his golden moment before the morning melt was only a few minutes. Now it was lingering. Whether this was a cold spell, or just how quickly the north progressed to winter, Reg was uncertain
