The sky really got its act together today. After yesterdays frivolous display of candy floss pink clouds on pale blue backgound it really had it all figured out... As I left the house it was a blank white canvass no messing around... just plain and simple. As the thunder rolled around the sky the canvass changed to dark purple. The colour began to seep into the world below. If you must know I happen to think that the world below looks slightly like the inside sleeve of 'fold your hands child' but with a few more gaps where fires have burnt down listed buildings. At least that is how I like to imagine it when I look out of the window. Feel free to disagree if it makes you happy. So then the rain started and the sky really came into its own. Sinking lower and lower, eating the tops of buildings and trees, but all the while remaining united in colour. "lightening never strikes twice" So this was what the sky was prepared for. This one off guest appearance and the sky was taking a back seat in the performance. Nevertheless the sky was certainly making sure all around were looking their best. The rain fell and dripped onto the leaves of dark purple trees leaving an inky trail in the gutter. The bright green and yellow bushes contrasted sharply and unrealistically. Lights flickered and people ran around shutting down computers and expensive electrical equipment. It was turning into a very moving and emotional show. So at long last, time for the lightening. The main attraction. And what did it do ? Nothing, it bottled out thats what. One incredible flash of light and then... nothing. All after such an incredible build up. The sky sulked and individual clouds reappeared. Its not easy when you have to work with such tempermental celebrities. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
