The spectacle was like a circle of multicoloured expanding stars whilst the silent established ones and half-moon watched impassively from the terrifying blackness of space then I pictured myself as a young boy when this scene filled me with such awe and joy. I briefly drifted to sleep despite the noise dreaming of the Russian Front and screeching Stalin Organs bringing death. All over the city the heavens shined transient as raindrops on a river. It became quieter than hours before, the moon and stars...ruling the sky once more. |
