Write a creative snapshot of a story depicting a summer evening on a farm with a full moon, when everything feels magnetic but changes suddenly, and the protagonist is about to meet someone important but not quite yet.<|im_end|>

She carried the rocking chair out to the side porch and sat down for the evening, facing the open pasture south of her home, and stared down to the strip of woodline. The sun, descending down the meadow of the next hill, thinned the silhouettes of the cedar trunks. Three railed fences crossed the pasture stream and squared to a barn open on the other side. The August moon rose orange and full in the haze of dusk and mimicked a binary sunset. But all she thought of was tomorrow's work. She sipped the stew in her bowl and ate a chunk of potato from the spoon. Though she was hot from the day's chores, a stew was convenient to brew come morning and be ready by dinner, and it softened the gamey rabbit cuts in a bath of salted broth and lard. The hens made their way back up the run and cooed through the screened window. Ludor, a Jersey cow, swatted her tail at flies landing on her backside and watched the sunset from the other side of the fence. Her calf would be here very soon. The woman stood up from her rocker and leaned against the porch post. More firewood would be chopped tomorrow, but at last, she sighed a relieving breath and opened to summer's ambience as the cool mountain air was pulled in. A loud crackle shattered her peace, and a succeeding barrage rang out in the distance. At the edge of the mountain wood, a figure crouched into the brush, paused, and ran again through the edge of the thicket. They were heading this way.<|im_end|>
