August 2022 Fiction Contest: Painting in the Sky
August 5, 2022
She was afraid of going outside. Outside, there were strangers wearing the masks of humans, the stench of crowds drowning the roads, the weight of grotesque emotions thickening the air. Her room was her safe place. She buried herself in her thoughts of storied lands as she was lost in a make-believe reverie. Her room was her cage.
She would go outside only once a day to watch the sun set. The sky became stained with the transient shades of dusk, the colors of lilac and marigold spilling into each other. The sunset was the one thing she couldn’t imagine prettier.
