He woke up from a strange dream or perhaps in a strange dream - fact and fiction seemed to be indistinguishable these days.
The sun had shape-shifted in a flame and the sky outside his cave had an awkward color. Aside from that, it seemed to be raining ashes.
Tiny pieces of charcoal and almost invisible smoke were penetrating his hypersensitive airways. He coughed and spat out slime, making sure to give this little bit of moisture to his fruit trees. It had been very dry for a long, long time so his fruity friends could use every little bit of liquid that their roots could suck up from the earth. One thing was clear, just his urine alone wouldn't do the job.
Suddenly his earholes picked up a sound above him. A big orange bird soared through the sky, sparks flying all around it.
For a moment, Hypersensitivosaurus thought that it was his friend Peter O'Ducktale but he soon realized that this mythical creature was of an entirely different level.
It seemed to own the sky.
For a while it seemed like the time was standing still. It was impossible to not look at the fire bird, it was mesmerizing. In a way, it felt like staring at the sun on a cloudless Summer day, wondering if you'd go blind. Gazing at it until you couldn't stand it any longer and had to either put on your sunglasses, close your eyes or look away.
This felt way more intense though. There was electricity in the sky, a powerful force, immensely beautiful and extremely scary all at once. It made you pee your pants - if you were wearing any - and enjoy the warmth of the urine running along your body, making its way down to the earth. All in all, a pleasurable experience, until the smell would reach your nostrils and you'd realize that your washing machine was broken and that there was no water around to wash yourself in.
And then, as sudden as it had appeared, the phoenix had gone again, taking the fire and ashes along with it.
It started to rain,
drop by
little drop.
The rain slowly changed into a down pour, washing away the stench of urine and nourishing the earth with its magical powers.
All was well.
Whether is was a nightmare or a wet dream, life was fascinating.
Boredom ceased to exist.
It was all just a matter of opening our eyes, ears, pores and everything in between, to start enjoying the magical unfolding that was and has always been happening around us.
The picture above this post was taken by me, today, in Avô, Portugal, where distant fires and a book I'm reading titled 'Courting the Wild Twin' inspired me to write this story.

I think wet dreams are a bit of a theme currently - that little dino seems to either genuinely need rain, or something else!
Hahaha! Are they?
Plenty of wetness here since yesterday. We had loads of rain and storm throughout the night. The seasons are a-changing and the nature is loving it although us human beings are somewhat low on energy now. Not sure about the dinos though...
I hope it wasn't actually as bright as a sun, retinal damage is no fun for anyone XD
It wasn't and I merely looked at it through my phone's camera.
On a side note: I stopped wearing sunglasses a month or so ago, after losing them and my eyes seem to adjust more and more to bright light.
Leveling up in all senses ;<)
I'm kind of an owl, everything is too loud and in summer the light is too bright XD (but I do love summer) back home I don't usually need sunnies as it's always overcast :)
Yay for levelling!
Always overcast there? Is that because of the proximity of the sea?
:<)
Tropics always seem to have clouds :)
