Vignette 8

           Open eyes, sore hands, blue skies. It began with a rowm then spouted into a feild. I just couldn't stop. Trees, grass, plants. Everywhere there was green.
           Picture a open feild, roughly 6 achers. Green, and flourescent colors blooming, reaching out to the bright sky. My one true love.
          It grew, and grew. Life from end to end. Too  much to water, and feed. I looked to the clouds to protect them.
         Nothing, no rain, not a drop of water everywhere. Dry leaves rubbing, dry leaves beginning to burn. A fire spreading, leaving no corners untouched.
        Firefighters came fast, there hoses injecting water to the flames. Blue, red, blue, red. Good and evil battling against the force of nature.
       I watched from the sidelines as the fire died. No green in sight, a black, dead mass replacing my once thriving landscape.

  2. I liked it, it was written very well. It was really sad though, and the way everything transformed from from life and beauty to blackened death made me sad :( However its very good and emotional :)
