I dream in technicolor.
One world those fantastical colors created was like oil on water. Greens and blues only appeared in the darkened night when the light shone just right. Peacock colors floated in and out of existence. Under the glowing stars waited a group of anxious teens. I huddled close to my brother and watched cautiously from his side. A silent command seemed to ripple through the crowd because everyone went to their cars. The cars fit into this sleek world just like the sky. The colors were deep, as if they were liquid. My brother nudged my into my car then made his way to his. Next to me a black Mustang rumbled like a ravenous panther. My own Shelby felt like a weak comparision to these beautiful creations of smooth night colors. The cars around me thundered and growled like a voracious pack of lions.
Snapping into action the cars shot off. I followed and picked up speed. I glided past the Mustang and then the next car. I moved through the ranks until only one car stood between me and victory. I slid past the next car like a figure skater on the ice. My heart soared at the rush of conquest and I beamed with pride. I flew through the finish line and then skidded to a stop. My breath raced out of me in a race of its own and my heart tried to keep pace. The rest of the packed stopped around me and paused a moment. Climbing out of the car I looked up at the faces of all those older than me, and I saw pride and amazment rain down on me. I glanced past the excited crowd and into the darkened night.
Night star eyes stared back at me. Those huge eyes reflected the stars back at me in a pitch black pool. Threads of lapiz-luzi snaked through the black. I was entranced. Skinny bodies of lead grey held up those eyes. I glimsped stick fingers that led up to skin and bone arms. From the depths of those eyes a purple vision started to appear. I tried to focus on it and promptly passed out.

ReplyDeleteI liked your diction. Although a few sentences sounded a bit too dressed up, it helped with a imagery. Created a really abstract and "sleek" world.
ReplyDeleteThis opens in one direction and heads in an opposite way ...I thought at first we were dealing with some special world that the speaker doesn't belong to, this oily sheen on everything but then you take us into an ambition and conquering...very cool idea
