"And then what happened?"
"Then, the waves that once glinted began to still, eerily so. The water itself began to move inward, on itself, as if something from the deep were sucking down the surface. In a flash, a most glorious cacophony of creatures erupted from the sea! Water spouted from the top of their heads, echoing song erupted through the solitude, ringing out for miles. They crashed, slapped the surface of the ocean, and one-by-one, dispersed and descended until no trace of their dance remained."
The sun smiled, looking out over a rice field dotted with the smallest creatures pulling leaves from the muck.
"It has been many, many days - I have lost count, since I saw such a spectacle," replied the sun with a grateful sigh.
"But you see so many a spectacle, my friend!" said the moon, gazing across the ocean expanse in the direction of the sun, though not quite able to meet their gaze.
"Yes, this is true. Sometimes I envy you, Moon. You join me in your cycle and see the wonders of daylight, and still you govern the darkness, existing in both worlds without reproach. Though I am the ruler of the day, warmer of the world and giver of life, you have so much more to see and experience than I do. In all my gratitude, I am stuck."
The moon sighed, having had this conversation eons over again. But, they would never tire of gently reminding the sun, for they were forever entwined, a match made truly in heaven, and had only each other to rely on.
"This is true, my Sun. It is why you have me, who will never leave you, to share with you the wondrous tales of the night, my storytelling growing ever-greater as we travel through endless existence together. I am here for you, so you never miss a moment, no matter where you are in the sky."
Prompt: Light
Another fabulous freewrite prompt from 
The freewrite process takes me between 20 - 25 minutes total:
- 2 - 3 min spent deliberating on what I'll write about based on the topic (typically a few words make up my concept).
- 5 minutes writing (sometimes a minute over).
- 5 - 6 minutes editing for spelling errors, run-on sentences, incorrect word usage, and punctuation. I use Grammarly for writing + editing on Steemit.
- 2 - 3 minutes finding a photo like the header above on Unsplash.
- 3 - 5 minutes formatting my post with a final proofread before publishing.
Until next time... 💙
