5
phrases:
1.) “Collapse like a bunch of broccoli.” My professor
used this during a lecture to my class referencing the fall of Rome in the
1600s.
2.) “Look, the colors are so vibrant tonight!” My
boyfriend said this about our fish one night after he changed the aquarium
lights.
3.) “I’ve been here, there, and everywhere today.” I
said this to my mom after a very busy and stressful day.
4.) “I’m just out for some retail therapy today.” I
had a customer express this to me at my retail store (maurice’s).
5.) “I’ve done absolutely terrible tonight.” My
friend said this after they lost money gambling football and basketball games
online.
Aurora
by
Bailey Miller
Location: An urban landscape stretching across Alaska.
Romantic Couple: They are taking a midnight hike and setting up
camp for the night and stumble across a break in the forest that reveals an
astonishing, and luminous scene across the night sky: the aurora borealis in
full glow.
Man:
(Letting out a breath of amazement)
“Look, the colors are so vibrant tonight!”
As the emerald, indigo, ruby, and lilac colors
swirl and dance in the sky above, an overwhelming peace blankets the landscape,
as all wildlife seem to stop and gaze.
Woman:
(Smiling)
“I am memorizing this moment so I am able to go
back to it in my mind in times of sadness and it will bring me joy.”
Man:
(Turns to woman…)
“I am grateful I am able to spend this instance
with you, right here, right now.”
They
embrace, & continue to witness the radiant show performing before them.
