Under Purple Clouds
Under Purple Clouds Every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky. You must understand, this was not just a random sighting but an extravagant yearly event; their arrival was always marked 30 days before the spring solstice. They would set themselves right atop the neighborhood park, nestled within a slight forested area, next to the soccer field that breeds a spirit of victory during the day. In this designated spot, which they felt conducive for a success of wills, they would come out to prep festivities nightly for all the days before spring. It is said that it is them who throw the seeds down from above for flowers to bloom in the season. They set an intention with every seed, the flower being the physical representation of the abundance bestowed by the Gods and royalty above. The result would emanate onto the people, the fauna, and the land. Some poets even consider these flowers the manifested laughter of the higher ups. Not much like sunsets who cast watercolor paintings in the sky every day, these purple clouds always brought on a parade to celebrate the new era of renewal, abundance and growth.

Muriel’s Second Hand Book Emporium, Chapter 1: The Inheritance. First Place in Under Purple Clouds Challenge. Top Story - March 2023.
Every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky. Only those who knew where to look saw them sway and weave and whirl to the quiet music of the night. Lavender and lilac, periwinkle and magenta, swirling and twirling. To the buzz of the cicadas, the chirp of the common nighthawk, the rush of bird wings, and the water lapping and tapping against the rocky banks of the meandering creek.

The Moon Sisters
Every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky. One by one forming a different shape every second. Some shapes were similar, but you would never see the same shape twice. It all started at dusk. Kids filled the neighborhoods with play and laughter as they scurried home before first light. Down at the city center, nestled in the middle of a ring of tall redwoods, sat the city park. On the South end; the local little league football team played at home against their rivals. On the north end is what looks like a triplets convention. Groups of three with like faces; sit waiting for the sunset spectacular. The streets lined with cars whose drivers honked constantly, because they sat bumper to bumper for miles. The drivers believed that honking would make traffic move faster. But there was no magic willing to aide in that favor. It’s end of business for the blue collars and just like that; the city came to life. Metro buildings started spewing out overworked and underpaid humans, who were anything but eager to stay a minute longer. Crowds from one building went one way. Crowds from another building went the other, until all the restaurants, bars, and public parking lots were at max capacity.
