Silence

Eerie yet
Beautiful

Silence.

The clouds are around me

I can touch them

Pillers of smoke
Reaching up into
The stars

Heaven


There's no-one here

There's nothing here

Not a sound
Not even a whisper


No living thing


It's all white,

The most delicate
White

I never thought I'd make it

But I'm here now


Just me
And the clouds


As far as the eye
can see.

I'm so sleepy
So cosy
So warm



I glance up

There's something coming
I sit up from my soft blanket
of smoke

Something red

It's not right

Upsetting the balance

Closer
and closer

I yell for it to stop
My shout echoes in the space
But it keeps on coming
faster and faster
closer and closer

Red

closer
closer
closer

I can smell it,

Rotting
Dirt
Germs


And it hits me.
Throws me off balance

And I fall

Right through the clouds

down
down
down
down

I land on earth

Normal, mediocre
Average

Disgusting

Earth.


----


I carefully straighten the pen on my desk

Someone wearing a red sweater
Had knocked it out of place

Straight
Perfect

Panic Over



I float back into the clouds.
100 Theme Challenge - Seeing Red

This is OCD. It's not what my OCD is about, but it's how I think someone who compulsively straightens/organises would feel like.

Comments much appreciated :)
