fallen angel

(the action takes place in the 20th century) It was a late winter evening, the street was so noisy that my head was buzzing, and all because Christmas was the day before, and everyone was eagerly preparing for the celebration.

You were heading toward the forest to get a Christmas tree, having neglected to do so earlier. Having gotten slightly lost, you felt a powerful impact from the ground, so strong that your knees buckled, trying to lose your balance, and your hands grabbed a nearby pine tree.

After the impact, a bright white glow followed, similar to the light of a lantern, only several thousand times stronger. Out of curiosity, you went to examine the place.
