Sunny Day

 

It was coming through the forest towards her.

She couldn’t see it yet, and suspected that she wouldn’t get a chance to see it at all.

Gears grinding, smoke billowing, with groans of complaint and whispers of rust, trees bent and shattered in its wake.

When would it appear in the clearing, and why weren’t the dogs barking at it? She glanced at her dogs in their pen and they were sound asleep, upside down, tummies basking in the sun.

And then it thundered; a rolling physical thing that demanded she look up.

The sky was bright robins’ egg blue.
