Narrative of Audio Imaging:

Situation 1 [Chosen]: In the Forest Clearing

Dawn has fallen upon the land. The sun shines softly on the grass of a forest clearing. Morning dew can be seen forming on the surface of leaves. The faint sound of crickets chirping, with the occasional bursts of cicadas rubbing their wings together can be heard. The baby birds wake up from their slumber, waiting for their mother to feed them some worms. In the distance, a rustling sound comes from the tall grass. Out pops the head of a little rabbit, as its little nose twitches possibly from being tickled by the grass. The rabbit hops swiftly from one spot to another, finally stopping for a brief moment as it thumps its leg on the ground. It's warning its friends below, that danger is arising. Not far away, a faint slithering sound can be heard. The rabbit thumps harder on the ground to warn its friends not to come out, then as quickly as it can, hops away from the snake, looking for an entrance to its burrow. The slithering sound, now accompanied with a few hisses, gets louder and louder until it reaches the spot where the rabbit was at. But alas, a large shadow forms above the snake, accompanied by the powerful flapping of wings, as an eagle swoops down to grab it's first meal of the day, cawing into the air as it flies away from the clearing.

Situation 2: Mornings in a Marsh

In the morning of a Marsh area, the sounds of dragonflies buzzing and flying on top of the surface of the water can be heard. They're not to be confused with the sounds of flies hovering around the water lilies in the marsh. A sudden dart from the tongue of the frog lurking near the water lilies, waiting for one of the flies to get nearer and nearer before doing so results in a hearty breakfast for the frog. It croaks and leaps into the water, satisfied with its meal. Other than the frog, little pikes make water ripples on the surface of the water as they come up for their prey, but do not know of their own predators, such as rails and herons waiting to duck their heads into the water to fish them out. The morning of this marsh is rather calm, yet movements from these few creatures can be heard.
