Aheila’s Drabble Day Challenge: Scenery

Another Drabble Day Challenge. 🙂 I think I earn bonus marks on this one. 😉 From Aheila’s Blog:

Hello!

I’m very busy these days – yeah, I know, as opposed to what? – so I’m mixing today’s drabble with another thing I’ve got to write – otherwise known as the Absolute Write Water Cooler Blog Chain. More on that at noon today but this month’s prompt is to write a description: no dialog, no action, just the description. That’s what I’m reusing for you guys.

Remember how it works?

Read the prompt and find your angle.
Write a drabble (100 words story, give or take five words).
Post a direct link to your drabble in the comments (or, if you don’t have a blog, just go ahead and post your drabble in the comments).
In the post on your blog, make sure to link back to this post.
Today’s prompt is: Scenery!
And the extra challenge for points no one keeps track of: take a peculiar angle for your description!

Today, I feel that my description needs theme music. You can find the music here:

And finally – My Drabble:

Scenery

The world is flashing by the windows of this vehicle. Bright colours, changing from dark to light, a brilliant white. I stare at it in wonder, seeing it for the first time – this beauty that surrounds me. Of the blue and red light reflected in a cascade of water, dripping down like mist from a waterfall. When it catches the water in just the right way – I see that light broken up into a rainbow of colours which swirls around me and those others present, anointing them with an unseen peace.
Beauty so precise, so unseen.
I close my eyes and allow myself to drift to the heavens, leaving my body behind in the wreckage of a car drenched in rain.
