A New Friend
“As if someone has thrown a handful of artificial colors in the mix”, I told myself.
I couldn’t move for few moments. Admiring in amazement the phenomenon unfolding in front of me.
“Hi, Cal what´s up with you, looks like you saw a ghost”.
Am I the only one seeing this? “Aaaa hey Brad, have a nice evening and don’t forget to take out both of your garbage bags”, I said.
“This cannot be, something must be wrong with my eyes or brains”. The cloud became bigger and expanded to cover my backyard. The colors got more vivid and intense as if someone had opened the taps of nature. I stepped back onto the terrace without taking my eyes of the mysterious cloud. It was magical and threatening at the same time.
I waited few more moments before I decided to take any action. Then suddenly the cloud became mono color, a deep purple.
“I should run inside and grab a camera”. The cloud turned yellow.
“Oh shit, cannot afford to lose a single moment here”. The cloud turned bright green.
“What?” I cannot even blink here. The cloud turned turquoise.
“Wait ...what’s going here”. The cloud turned green again.
“Can this thing read my thoughts?” The cloud turned into a green gradient, as if acknowledging the question in my head. My body froze in fear and I hoped that my mind froze with it.
In a split second the cloud turned yellow. “Yellow, thaaat..sss a friendly color”, I said to myself. The cloud played with the yellow gradient up and down as if agreeing to my understanding.
A smile passed on my lips. The only thought floated in my head was “ Hello friend”.
