Fire Light (ON HOLD)

Candy in the Sky with Diamonds

I was sitting in the air? No, I was sitting on something white. A cloud? This doesn't make sense. Am I dead?

Possibly.

I remembered the stabbing pain I had felt earlier and picked up my shirt, noticing there was no blood on it. I looked at my stomach and saw a long gash stretching from one side of my body to the other, going just above my belly button. It was stitched back together with what looked like black cotton thread, not very sanitary.

Am I imagining this, am I still on drugs?

Should I really be asking myself these questions while I'm standing on a fricking cloud?

I put my shirt back down and looked around. The cloud wasn't very large, the size of an Earth Bedroom, maybe. I walked to an edge and crouched down so I wouldn't fall off. I looked over the edge, all I could see were the tops of trees and the tree trunks that were holding up all of the clouds. It was like being in a tall tree fort.

I knew I should probably get back to the ground, but how? It was probably a 100 foot drop to the tops of the trees.

I suddenly got an idea, I walked over to one of the tree trunks and wrapped my arms around it. Then I wrapped my legs around it and swung myself away from the cloud. I gently shimmied down the tree and gasped in pain as I felt the stitches on my stomach rip out against the trunk. I bit down on my tongue as I move down some more. I tried not to think about the blood I felt dripping down my legs. I was about halfway down now, my shirt was again soaked in blood. I looked up, there was a trail of blood on the tree.

I heard a noise, quiet at first, as it got louder I realized it was the wings of a bird coming towards me from my left. I looked over and saw two giant white birds, as they got closer I realized there was a person sitting on top each, perched on leather saddles with harnesses that went around the bird's head and neck. I watched for a moment and realized they were being aimed directly at me. I tried to quickly go down the tree, but they were right next to me in a matter of seconds.

They moved themselves behind me, & I felt one of them grab my waist and yank me off the tree.

I landed on his saddle on my back in front of him. I looked at him in fear. He held my gaze as the second guy jabbed something into my shoulder. The guys face world and turned blue and pink like cotton candy. If I wasn't two week, I would have reached up and tried to eat some. My gaze moved past the guy to the red licorice that was holding the cotton candy in the sky. It looked delicious. I began to float towards it. I reached for some licorice, but was disappointed when my hands went straight through it. I moved back down to the swans, and discovered they were made out of ice cream. I reached for one, and it fell out of the sky, spattering itself on the tree tops. I floated towards the trees, hoping to find something to eat. I felt like I had not eaten in days.
