The sand was ash, the water black, the air thick with oily soot, and no sun shone to light the waves’ dark path.
No breath of life warmed the chill, no sound broke into the sickly rhythm of the waves’ slap upon the shore.
The only smell was the all-pervading stench of corruption, the only splash of colour, the blood red robes of the creator, manipulator, annihilator, terminator.

Jane Dougherty Writes 
Powerful stuff!
Thank you!
Very dark, Jane! 🙂
Rather 🙂
Mood is dark as the dark sands below.
It isn’t a cheery picture.
Yes, I understand.
Ooh, I like this! Such lovely, dark description of the scene – and the sinister motives behind the perpetrator? We can only guess at. Lovely writing Jane
The perpetrator was God who had had enough of playing silly buggers and pulled the plug 🙂
Well, maybe one day he will. Or we’ll do it on his behalf
Then he’ll sigh and say, I told you so.
Wow. Powerful.
We’re all a bit grim at the moment, seems to me.
Yes it seems so.
Yes. The color contrast stands out. The allusions to significance of red add to the intrigue – Blood, communism, power, anger, overpowering …
The Sacred Heart wears red too…
Yep, More can be added. Thanks!
🙂
