outer sunset

"What were the skies like when you grew up?"
"They were big skies, full of fluffy little clouds ghosting by like animals in a felt zoo.
     "And when Ra rode his great golden barge across the heavens all the little fishes and insects and kitty cats and reptiles came out to gawp at him and give praise."
"Even the dragons?"
"Most of the dragons - the sun ones and the star ones. Not the moonies. And not Zhulong, the Torch Dragon."
"Why not the Torch Dragon?"
"Because he knew that a Summer's day was nothing more than a blink in time". THE END

This picture and story was inspired by Tycho's song Outer Sunset off the album Simulcast.
