The sun hovered listlessly in the falling sky, unable to escape the cruel clutches of time. Defeated, the sun sank beneath the sea, and like the tides, the light did recede. The coming of night placed eerie shadows on the walls that towered above me, making the sky seem small. I took in a breath, freeing the trapped and lonely air, but then a sound echoed and I screamed in despair. Clouds consumed the sunless sky, my tattered wings lay broken, no I cannot fly. Thunder echoed through the shadeless water, my ears screaming like lambs led to the slaughter. Another thud decimated the sky, like the bombs that fell, exploding in my mind. Memories flashed by in a raging river, and the wind howled, causing me to shiver. Tears fell from the mournful sky, and the people down below never wondered why it cried. But I looked up and felt its pain, screaming in the night, receiving only looks of disdain. I cringed as the sky grew angry, unable to take the pain and doleful misery. As the sky continued to crack, a memory lurched forward and I gasped. My body hovered above the ocean, draped in a net. My mother screamed from down below, swimming towards me, but to her daughter she could not get. As I was carried away I cried, unable to escape the cruel clutches of time. The days of old were washed away, and now I am prisoner in some bloody game. The sky shook and trembled once more, and in the distance I heard a wave strike the shore. I looked longingly towards the sound, only to realize no more hope could be found. Defeated, I sunk beneath the shadeless water, knowing I would never again see my mother. I screamed at the angry sky, begging it to tell me why... Why I was whisked away, why my captors were led so astray, why it was me who was tossed into the fray, and why I must be a pawn in this bloody game. My lungs begged me to take a breath, but still screaming at the sky I ignored their request. As the light slowly faded to black, the sky uttered one final crack. Suddenly the wind blew all the clouds away, and the moon rose high above, warming me with its rays. Colors illuminated the night sky, uniting in a rainbow that shimmered in the moon's light. My wings were healed, ready to fly, ready to soar above this dreadful night. Never will I give up, never will I stand down. Even if those around you don't give a f***, light can always be found.
