The New Land by Caitlin D

The clouds merge into shape, I spin into the light of the blinding sun.  As I look away i see lights of different colours flashing in the back of my brain.I hear squeals of laughter. My feet slip across the lush green grass. Bright flickering shadows emerge over the top of me as the balloon dances onwards. Rainbows spring in the air. My hands snap back from the  trickling waterfall as a green slimy frog jumps out. The water floods the undergrowth.  

The ground rattles, I hear a rumbling in the distance. Twirling hurricanes appear in the distance.  The earth moves like a rollercoaster. I hear a loud booming sound in the back of my head, I realise it is real even though I am trying to imagining it . Spinning, swirling and rattling back and forth, “take cover”. The ground crumbles before me, tiles whip round me the last thing that I  would expect is to find a new land for myself....  But not for it to be destroyed in seconds.

People walking, heads slumped almost touching the ground.  The atmosphere was depressing it was like a graveyard with rickety gates. I’m trudging through the deep welche mud, tiles scattered like a easter egg hunt. Tears sliding down my face marking it with sorrow.

A bright light flashes like a shooting star. The  trees and birds whisper together making a humming sound. It goes black and the blue then white and then all of a sudden my land appears, like somebody flashing a torch in my face. I scream, no words could explain my emotions right now.

Only one thing  I hadn’t been told about having a new land,....... it can never be destroyed......
