Challenge
August 21 will be the first time in 99 years that a total solar eclipse crosses the USA. Beginning after August 21--if you were lucky enough to experience totality--write about it. Any genre. No word limit. It'll be my first totality--I've waited all my life for this. I'll be there. Let those who saw it with me immortalize it.
Don't enter before August 21. No rules. All genres. I'll be entering myself, so winner will be by likes ("Democracy")
The Stalwart Candle
A candle lit in the bright of day,
Hanging on a candle holder on a wall, amidst a house of many windows,
Light basking on the floor where through those windows it was cast.
With the deceptive speed of that deception - time lapse photography -
An eclipse engulfed the Sun.
Shadow chased the minions of light, and in the house of the candle they fled the floor,
Darkness on their minion heals.
But where the coming shadow met the candle,
The candle threw the shadow writhing back upon the floor!
