The shining orb of burning fire began its slow descent into the earth. The atmosphere slowly filtering out the shorter, much hotter rays of light, gradually bringing the temperature down and shifting the neutral daylight to fiery dusk. The sky turned into tangerines and strawberries, and the clouds into cotton candy. Shadows stretched and contorted, distorting the world into a surreal landscape of bizarre creatures and unearthly monuments. As the Earth continued its rotation, the shadows expanded and the colors melted into each other muddying until all that remained was a deep inky sea of darkness, and a small glowing rock rose lazily into the air to greet the night, acting the part of a reflector, bringing the long set fiery ball’s light back into the world, if only just faintly.
