The sight was a glorious one. What could I say? Light was a regal beauty, and for the first time in my life I never felt out of place. Everybody stood out here. The colours of the sun hit the sky in perfect strands. The blue that surrounded the emerging sky was a blue unlike any other! Such a beautiful world, filled with colours. Till today I never knew that the trees were green, or that there was a colour called red. Back home the only colour we got to see was black against the pale moonlight, sucking life out of anyone who entered.
Red flowers, green leaves and one really magnificent
creature...butterfly. Oh! they were so attractive...it was like seeing tiny angels from heaven!
I couldn't stop myself from looking at them or touching them.
Their fluttering wings were music to my ears. How wonderful were those creatures, who barely lived for a day and yet lived it to the fullest? How magnificent was life here, that every living soul in this world lived each moment brimming with happiness.
Only if our worlds could collide and amalgamate into one...
We would find the one true purpose pf this life; Peace.
Now since I'm already here, I need to find Ethan.
It was time to finally face my fear and do what I truly came here to do...
The world is always colorful with a switch of perception. The ones who choose to stay in the dark and gray do serve their purpose. I find the dull to be the palate of beauty. What is beauty other than the interesting surrounded by the dull? Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder so they say; it all depends on how the perceiver perceives perception I suppose. Great piece, Ria.
I really enjoyed the descriptions and the metaphor of the butterfly in this chapter. I admit I have not read the other chapters, which I assume there are, but you've captivated me with your descriptions and the sort of cliffhanger that it ends on. I want to know what is going on! and I will find out:) Thanks for sharing!

whoa barlygirl...I think I'd have to disagree with your last words "If you feel very set upon this line of storytelling, please don't read request me anymore for this one." Like, what if this is how she wishes for her "real life" to be ? She may of already doubted her writing, and there this was triggered a big explosion of an emotion that she may not wish to experience. I am not being rude, but simply being honest with you. Ria you keep writing what your heart desires to express. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your work in this piece. SEND me read request and I will read them any day.

As I mentioned in the previous chapter, your writing is clear & intriguing & poetic, but just too abstract for a multi-chapter story. Also, it's too beautiful for me. I think a steady diet of beautiful is boring & nothing stands out to keep our interest. Nothing is memorable. For me, stories need some tension & contrasts (like real life), as well as something concrete to draw the reader along, to find out about what happens next. This story doesn't do that for me. Sorry I can't be more complimentary. If you feel very set upon this line of storytelling, please don't read request me anymore for this one.
