Not too long ago a fire that started in the nearby forest spead and caught this land of tall and dry grasses in flames. With nothing to stop it, the flames ate everything in sight until they reached the large lake quite a distance away from here. Now it is brown dirt and dust where nothing grows. The rain turns the dirt into a slimy mush that is terrible to have to walk through, but maybe one day something will spout back up... maybe one day.
