From the Sky

Cumulus

This is a story of how I flew through the sky.

Down from the morning sky and passing clouds.

How I found myself.....not alone anymore.

This is the story of how I found you.

___________From The Sky___________

    Another lazy sunday morning and you were definitely being lazy. Stretched out on the large bay window of your house that you had covered in a comfortable padding and adorned with all your favorite plushies. You had been there for several hours lost in a good book until you started to get an itch to go outside. Which you had found rather odd. On these chilly crisp fall days you tended to stay indoors enjoying the changing leaves from the little nook.

...........

You couldn't take it anymore. Jumping from the window and nearly tripping over to the door, you threw on your coat and overly large scarf. Adjusting the scarf over your face you bolted out the door, the chilling area nipping gently at your nose.

You took in the surroundings of your home. The wrap around porch you bounded off of, the still lush green grass that seemingly went on for miles, the big oak tree off to the side, hanging from it a tire swing, the empty flower beds you never brought yourself to fill, and the woods behind it all with the babbling brook you loved to stick your feet in during the summer.

Even though you had lived here nearly your whole life it never ceased to fill you with wonder and amazement. The way the land changed for the season or the new things to discover hidden in the forest. You loved every moment of it.

As you reached the top of a hill quite a ways from the house you stopped to catch you breath kneeling down on the chilling ground. Frost still lingered on the blades of grass from the chill over night not quite melted by the warming sun. Laying back you admired the fluffy clouds.The sky was just so beautiful toda-

What was that?

No really what was that?!

A bright flash of light straight up above you you squinted your eyes to try and see.... Damn your nearsightedness! Standing up and putting a hand over your brow and you still couldn't tell what that was. Just these little dots. Then different colors in various blob shapes. Was something falling from the sky? Did a bird get shot? Who the hell was hunting on your land.... No you would have heard a gunshot.

Then you heard it.

The screams and yells from above you.... IT WAS PEOPLE?!?! Oh goodness! What to do, what to do, what to do? These poor people were going to plummet to their death! WHY WAS THERE EVEN PEOPLE FALLING FROM THE SKY ANYWAYS?! Time was running short and you had to figure out something fast.... Even if you called someone they wouldn't make it in time.... And there was no way you could drag a mattress by yourself over here....

They are right there!!!

There was no time to come up with any other plan.

No other way to save them.

So you did the only thing you could think of...

You opened your arms.

CRASH!
