Green, I think, is the colour of life. In this place all things are green – the grass, the trees, even the sky. As I stare at the verdant rock hurtling towards me, I am struck by an imminent thought:
I didn’t think green would be the colour of my death.

Parched Nomads
They walked for days in the blistering heat; their feet rubbed raw from the ragged stones. Following ancient roads they wound onwards, searching desperately. Days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months, and years turned to generations. Parched nomads they became, hunting for a miracle.

Quoth
Unnoticed, the clock struck into the next day. Before my eyes, as midnight came and went, the words on the pages over which I poured blurred together. Meaningless under my over-tired gaze, they looped around themselves, slowly winding lines of text twisting themselves into knots as I watched, barely awake enough to do more than notice the change.

A nice twist and usage of metaphor and symbolism. Amazing how you can shift expectations in so few words. Brilliant.
