I have always been fascinated with the night sky and have enjoyed looking up at it without the light pollution. While living in Las Vegas I would have to commute at least an hour past Red Rock or Valley of Fire to escape the bright lights of the city. Since moving to a small town I have been able to enjoy watching the moons and her phases, meteor showers, and seeing where the constellations are in the night sky.

As Kelly stepped out of her claustrophobic car onto the expansive beach in front of her and was taken aback by the blinding tangerine - coloured sun rising from center of the horizon like a kite making its way to the top of the sky. In the distant pastel coloured sky , seagulls croaked and swooped down determined to catch their unsuspecting prey. Microscopic boats were perched on the shore lingering for people to ride on.

The sky looked like lashes of water color, with spots of red and blue, and at some points they joined to form a shade of indigo and lilac. There were many spotted clouds above, that filled the sky with their pure white puffiness, but it was the vivid sun that I could not take my brown eyes off. It looked like a gold coated globe covered with…
with her, the only way to relive the joy I once had. ... The starry sky was jagged and disconnected from the grass, a sharp difference from the last time. Stars bled from the sky like a thousand pale golden tears. Once again I could feel the life leave from my legs and I found myself moving without sensation.
