Looking to the window, the drapes swayed gently in the wind; with every pulse of the air, the curtain quietly slid against the window sill.

Pulling back the chair, the man stood up and walked to the window.
Leaving trails of footsteps, moonlight streamed into the window; the full moon revealed much of the landscape.
As the man stood in front of the window, the hill to the north appeared empty.
"Ah, dinner awaits," thought the man, as he attempted to close the window.
Pressing a little harder, the man slid the window down.
Moving back and admiring the view, he moved to his seat; about to sit down, the man was a bit taken aback when he realized the window was cracked.
