Walking to the Sunset

"Kev and I walked to the sunset. We went to see where the sun goes at night, in what spot it meets the earth, and where it rises in the morning." At least that's how Lucille explains it.

I've never been one to believe in such places as “where the sun meets the earth,” but Lucille seems to think the sun sets into the ground. “Where does it go then, if not in the ground?" she asked, as we looked through my magazine full of beautiful sunsets. “How could it be beneath us?” she asked with a hint of sass.

I told her it's just science; I said to her that the sun stays in one spot and the world is just orbiting it. She was not convinced.

Zone 42

We walked for what felt like days until we found the secret door to Zone 42! Cue the dramatic music… We walked in and saw the aliens as soon as we got in, and then we saw the vault and in the vault was… King Bob, the Blobfish on a throne of Blobooz. He said, "Came to become a blob, I see?" and then the floor opened to a pool of Blobooz. We turned into blobs.

Enchanted Walk

We walked for what felt like days along a beautiful dirt road that was lined with beautiful trees with leaves like fire and rocks almost as beautiful as gem stones. There were stones and pebbles along the road that made a satisfying crunch as we walked. It really was a beautiful walk that we were on. I knew we had not really been walking for days, but I don't walk that often and thi sis a couple mile long walk. My focus turned back to the beauty of the walk. I looked around, a little past the fiery trees was a river, a beautiful shining, glowing, crystal-like river. I kept looking around. The satisfying crunch coming from under my feet suddenly sounded more satisfying. I looked down. There were no longer pebbles or stones under my feet, but crystals. The fiery red and orange trees seemed to be more and more fiery as we walked. The crystals that were now under my feet began to become shinier and starrier as we walked.

The Rainforest

We walked for what felt like days, we traveled across a desert and over a mountain. Until we reached a rainforest, thick and dark under the high canopy of the trees. The thought of all the animals that are potentially stalking us; snakes, birds, lizards, and pumas. Pumas are terrifying, especially the ones from the rainforest, they are huge. The thought sent shivers down my spine. I took a deep breath and proceeded into the dark depths of the jungle. I came to a realization that the rainforest isn’t that bad. The calming part is the constant flow of the trees mixed with the chirping birds. It soothed me, made me feel safe. The flow of water can be heard in the distance. Water, we haven’t had water for a couple of hours and I am so parched. My mouth is dry, my face sunburnt. It had been awful, but that cold refreshing water is gonna feel so good. As we approached the water I had an eerie feeling. Something was watching us, I stopped and looked around in a full 360.

The Shadow Man

I walked for what felt like days, until I saw the shadow once again. It was following me. This time, it seemed darker… Angry. I continued walking along the dark, uneven path through the woods, trying not to acknowledge the shadowy creature taunting me. The more I walked, the darker the woods became. The trees were so tall, and thick that you could not see the night sky. As I walked, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. I rubbed my neck and the flashlight in my hand began to flicker.

“Oh no!” I whisper as I hit it against my hand.

“Come on, don't give up on me now.”

The flash light goes out. Darkness. I look around frantically, trying to find where the shadowy being went. At the corner of my eye, I see a tall, dark silhouette.

“No,” I panic, “No!”

Tree of life

We walked for what felt like days, until the glowing faded hue of purple was finally seen glimmering through the thick undergrowth of lines and trees, the small dew droplets that covered the rainforest lit up with the purple hue.

With a couple slashes of vine and ferns, I stepped into an opening and in the middle of that opening stood a large tree, vines the size of your forearms hanging down seeming to reach out to you and snatch you up if you wandered too close.

The faded purple hue of before had now turned into a bright and beautiful lavender, the light poured out from an opening in the tree.

Finally we made it to the tree of life.
