Fireflies-100 word challenge

Firefly forest, a place I was forbidden to ever go, for which I never knew why. Leaves rustled on forest floor, and birds sang chirpy songs. I looked up and there above me was a firefly, not a huge one, not a green one, just one simple firefly. I almost actually felt happy around it , until it flew away. Wanting to be happy again I followed, it was beautiful, I looked at thousands of fireflies just waiting for me to smile. I didn’t have anywhere else to go so I decided to stay. But it wasn't long until it changed.

The cold night breeze washes past my face, as warm salty tears roll down my cheeks. I have been here for months now, my  cell is unbearable and isolated. At dawn I wake up at the sound of the morning bell, and at dusk I let tears fall onto my pillow until my eyes finally shut. I miss my family.  I wish I could go back to them but this cell is impenetrable, and I know that they never take me back. My cell floor is as cold as ice and my rough shawl doesn't help on cold winter nights.
