The Sky Lightly Cried

The sky lightly cried as it tried to hide itself from below. It did not want this. It did not want the world to shelter within it. It did not want this suffering, this pain, this torture, this incessant redness constantly clothing the ground below it. It tried to hide, run, escape, but no amount of writhing would let it slip from its chains. It did not want to tarnish itself with the beautiful savagery that we upheld our heads with, and all it could do was cry.

So it did.
