New paintings and regular art updates.
Something in the sky at 6.40 am, Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire. 26.10.24.even with my bad eyesight I could see the sky was patchy and a bit odd. I thought it was just clouds but the colour had a hint of green. This must be boring because it’s not the streamers and ribbons people usually see. Anyway it’s through me bedroom window.
But to notice solar activity this far south. The Sun is at solar maximum, most active over a 22 year waning then waxing. And I keep noticing it!
The green glow outside had intensified and was visible in her living room now. It was almost midnight and she knew if anything was going to happen it would be soon. He heart was pounding and she felt sweat trickle down the side of her nose. All she could do was hide.
She stepped into the old oak cupboard, pulled the door shut and hung on to the catch.
Suddenly the rushing noise outside was everywhere. She stuffed her hand in her mouth to stop screaming.
Gradually the noise calmed down, it quietened there was a moment of a shrill scream and then silence.
In the morning it was on the news, her neighbour dead of a heart attack.
She never saw the green glow again…..
