He had journeyed many miles to reach the spot. The spot which locals revered as the place where the sky met the land. Even the swamp breathed an aura of mysticism and his eyes couldn’t quite trace the spot where it ended and the sky began.
Wading past the trees that hindered his view, he was lost in an immense aurora. As he drank in the sky spectacle, his eyes widened. What was this – a hole in the sky?
He strode confidently in, he-the-forgotten, stepping bravely into the unknown.

Brave guy, I wonder what he finds there?
That, is the question😁 thanks Iain for stopping by
An engaging hero, with his appreciation of beauty and his fearlessness!
Thx penny
The sense of destiny rings in this story, Lavanya. He-the-forgotten stepping bravely into the unknown, is a great line, showing us a glimpse of this character/narrators bravery and foolishness.
Yes, there is a think line between bravery and foolhardiness.
Dear Lavanya,
Imaginative piece that left me wondering what he’ll find on the other side. Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks Rochelle – I look at it as a aphorism for everything in life that we are scared to peek through.
An unknown man entering an unknown place. I hope he finds it wonderful!
Thank you!
Sounds like the beginning of a great adventure. (Hopefully great — not terrible.☺)
It definitely is, Christine. Thanks for writing in.
Sometimes it’s only the forgotten one who jumps into the unknown. I hope it’s good on the other side though or may be not.
True, bravery comes when you have little to leave behind. Thanks for writing in, Norma.
Gotta love Sci-fi and Fantasy rolled together into a mysterious adventure!

Thanks Scott
I really enjoyed this. You are welcome.
Fun fact: I once was driving through a rainstorm out on I5 in California and actually saw the end of the rainbow on the ground. Lousy leprechauns must have made off with all the gold, though.
