Beautiful Sky

By Kat Myrman

“It’s so beautiful daddy. It’s like daytime in the middle of the night!”

Wayne drew his family close, tears streaming down his face. All around them other families huddled in loving clusters to witness the event. It was a scene replicated around the world.

Days earlier, world leaders and their wealthy friends boarded space vessels that would transport them to a new planet galaxies away. The ozone they had depleted in their lust for greed and power left the earth vulnerable to the impending solar flare.

“It is beautiful Zoe,” Wayne whispered, as a great flash of light consumed them.

By Heart

Eleanor would miss the wooden floors that moaned under her steps and the warm smells that filled the kitchen, wafting to the chamber room hallways through the dumbwaiter shaft.

She scanned the room, eyes stinging as she held back salty tears.

The spinet was all that remained. It would stay. The new owners had fallen in love with it, offering a fetching sum in addition to paying the asking price. Besides, it was too bulky to move.

“One more song for the road?” Her fingers knew every note by heart. She closed her eyes and imagined him listening.

Private hanger?! Chartered flight!? Sandra couldn’t believe Michael had such means. But that didn’t matter to her. Their relationship had begun quite innocently. It started with a common “like” on a friend of a friend’s social media page. For the next year there were chats and phone conversations. A lovely friendship developed, and more. They both felt it.

As Sandra gazed out the window on the approach to the island, her heart skipped a beat. It was not the sight of the lavish estate that touched her so. There, at the end of the runway Michael was waiting.
