Well done Wayne! looks like you picked a winner...I knew that sky was special. Score should hang in there based on those comments...could even break 7 if you get enough voters!
What's going on with the sky? It looks very weird: lots of strange gradient lines. I can get over that for the most part and say it's part of the ambiance right? 9
They silently paddled toward the boggy island, knowing their search could finally be over. It had been weeks since they began, and they'd traced the source of their search here. This small, uninhabitable tract of land in the middle of a distant lake. They slowly approached, every sense on alert, as they landed the canoe. Did they have it cornered, or had it cornered them?
A sudden rush of noise to the left, a shot fired in panic, the coming apart of rational thought.
Years later, the skeletal remains of the canoe was happened upon by a working crew. The bones were found shortly after. A family of squirrels the only life to be seen.
