More than a sunset

Was it just a story?
I think not. It was real. Very real.
But perhaps just use a beautiful dream? That would work better.

She would walk into the lounge. She would open the double doors into the garden, and then to the still warm pool. Such a treat!
She would sit on the wall, looking at the gorgeous sunset, between the dark waters and the vivid sky.
She would remove a pretty feather to touch it and smooth it. Then she would walk back again.
Closing the double doors.

She would lay down to sleep again.
Sleep on… forever.

    • A perfect metaphor, Neil.

      p.s. I tried to write on you post about that sunset prompt, but I think it went to spam. Anyway what I wrote was:
      That’s pretty scary, and excellent by the way. No interweb… help!
