Descriptables #11: Explosive Freedom
Lights burst on the night sky, like flowers blooming instantaneously — instead of over weeks or months. The crowd hollers and cheers, shouting praises and applauding the magnificent sights appearing before their eyes.
A rocket shoots up, barely visible, only evident from the curled wisps of smoke from its trail, along with a searing whistle. An explosion, and then a thunderous BOOM, and the rays of color burst from the center — tendrils of light spreading out quickly and carelessly over the black canvas. Crackle, fizz, pop, crackle.
Bright yellow lights from the ground claw upwards to meet the falling green and red strands from the explosion. Those watching are breathless, eyes watering — feeling miniscule amongst the vastness and radiance of the sky.
