My Hawker Tempest crashed down. Body ejected from the cockpit, throwing me hundreds of feet through the trees and bushes.
The cool, soft dirt of the forest floor cradled my body. A modest stream, babbling and purring, carried thoughts, fears, and regrets away.
The crickets orchestrated a beautiful overture. The frogs croaked backup to the birds, which were chirping in perfect harmonies.
The sun started to set, drawing the curtain, so the fireflies could put on their light-show. Little ballerinas dancing on the flows of the wind that coursed through the forest.
Rain like tears came as the curtain closed.
Bravo.
