Purple Shards of Sky
When the purple night sky shatters above.
The purple night sky above is shattering into so many glass pieces. Shards of purple sky plummet towards helpless men and women below.
Suddenly… suspended. Floating above the treetops. Gasps of awe below.
The shards shatter once more, softly now. Spraying finger sized gems below. Men and women collect the beautiful pieces. They fight one another for the pieces. Intent on selling them, reaching riches unimaginable.
Crimson blood stains purple gems in earth brown dirt.
The poison of the riches hurt humans more than the falling shards of glass ever would have.

Nose Soap
This story was originally published on Medium. ************** The hot water was spraying onto Avery’s back from the showerhead. He stood completely still, just waiting. This was weird. This was so awkward. He stared at the bottles of body wash that lined the edge of the tub. All so foreign. All these fancy bottles, all these different colored labels. Where was Avery’s tried and true blue body wash?

Suprematism. Abstract art based on feelings.
Suprematism is an early 20th-century art movement focused on the fundamentals of geometry (circles, squares, rectangles), painted in a limited range of colors. The term suprematism refers to an abstract art style based upon "the supremacy of pure artistic feeling" rather than on the figurative depiction of real-life subjects.
