Everyone began to wait for the White hot sun to go black, to be overshadowed by the lustrous moon.
Clinging to the thought that this was a promise of a new omen, a gesture of a new beginning. But it was just the moon and sun combined. But many were
Lingering on the belief that this was just cosmic. That it wasn't biblical. But an eclipse is common now, like once a year.
It’s insane, people praying to God and gods, terrified of the shadowed sun shifting the Earth in ways we don't understand
People waited in trepidation, in wonderous awe. Animals trembled, on edge, and plants and weather beginning to sway in temperament.
So many cultures, so many religions, all looking for a darker meaning in the disappearing of the symbol of God.

Unforgivable. * Note: I don't think that I have to explain this one to anyone noting recent news, but I have included a video link below for future generations who can still feel empathy and compassion for someone who got caught up in history. And I was just too angry to say more with this piece.

Describing the eclipse as the "black sun" is a great touch Jennisea! I like how you highlight the reactions people have to such a powerful phenomenon, especially if you didn't have the scientific knowledge necessary to understand it.
This is top 2 definitely! Good job.
Creative! I loved it, well done! :)
