Short Stories

Earth & Sky.

The sky and earth. Terra and Heaven. Ground and Atmosphere, rock older than air. Earth was birthed dull and angry, volcanoes existing as lakes, and everything was dark around. She was like this for a long time, then she briefly met several other beings with another being who crashed into her life like meteors. They made Earth happy, and the happiness from Earth was seen by Mother Nature, the caretaker of the planets and their habitats. Mother nature took the leftover influences of Earth's friends to create a gentle fluid that would keep Earth feeling as if she was being hugged forever.

Earth, now being covered in fluid was happy for many forevers, but grew lonely again. She hadn't realized the life growing on her skin beneath her blue blanket. Mother nature stepped in once more, taking the leftovers of plants and brought them into the sky, slowly. The sky had been there for a while, but it was not yet living, it had not yet been properly born. Nature fixed that. She gave the Sky a blanket and made Sky larger, gave her life. Sky, finally awake, holding a blanket to dim the rays of the Sun's ultraviolet, only said one thing.

"Hello!" She said, looking at Earth. Earth gave a gently wave, and the unacknowledged moon forced Earth to give a larger wave to Sky. The Sky and Earth didn't talk much at first, not until Sky could see creatures swimming in Earth's blanket. This sparked conversations, they'd talk about the creatures a lot, and Earth would slowly reach for Sky, to shake hands. With every shake, Sky would also notice that the blanket creatures came onto Earth's skin, which had gone green and lush.

The Sky and Earth always reached for eachother, sometimes Earth would change a little, shaking things up. Sky once hugged Earth tightly after a bully crashed into Earth in the galactic hall, causing the end to Earth's skin lizards. The sky clung to Earth, keeping her company forever.

They spoke about the small lizards leftover, along with the hair little guys and some green left. Sky began kissing Earth more, a lot more. She kissed her forehead many times in the past, and sometimes her knees for fun, but now it grew. Earth became greener, and sometimes she'd go white as Sky gave her kisses. They still clung to eachother more. Sky and Earth continued their conversations of the creatures on Earth. Earth began feeling writing stories of these bipedal creatures with weapons made of stones. Sky was a little jealous because Earth focused more on these little guys than Sky, so Sky decided to kiss Earth more. She kissed her neck, her nose, her cheeks, ears, collarbone, belly--it heated up Earth until Sky could change a layer of Earth's blanket.

With her jealous and cold touch, the blanket became cold. Earth's blanket stayed, because it gave her emotional support, but it was always so cold. Earth became ill, few creatures lived now, and Sky regretted her decision. She hugged Sky, apologizing for her jealous actions, and so she tried giving Earth warm kisses. In due time, life came back, and the Sky cried many times over. Earth noticed a stain on her blanket, it seemed to have drifted from the bipedal creatures on her green skin. The stains came, sometimes went. The sky was upset, but learned not to try doing much. The Earth shook many times, reaching for Sky more and more. Sky reached for Earth as well, somtimes blinding the creatures on Earth.

The bipedal creatures began fighting eachother a lot, causing little scars on Earth's green skin. It got so bad once, not a single bipedal creature stepped foot on a little bit of shoulder that poked through Earth's blue blanket. The sky was a little sad, and the Moon decided to pull on the blanket a little to help. It didn't help. That spot remained empty of bipedal creatures.

Earth noticed that Sky had a little hole in her blanket, and Sky was surprised. Neither knew why, but they guessed it was the bipedal creatures. They've been building giant grey things and spraying their hair with something. One day, they stopped. The big hole in Sky was no longer growing, so she began sewing. Earth gave her the threads to help. Eventually, Sky's blaket was fixed. This made Earth happy and warm inside, and the Sky began giving her kisses again. Earth was so warm and fuzzy inside, it made her skin and blanket warmer. The sky noticed how warm it was getting, so she gave Earth cold kisses.

On the 2nd of February, 2018 years after a certain bipedal supposedly existed, the sky gave Earth a light kiss on her safe shoulder. It was a light kiss, Earth's surface was too warm to keep Sky's white lipstick on, but it made her happy.

The end.
