the fantasy

Flocks of cumulus blocking the sun from view, edges glowing as white marble against the darkening sky. Beneath the chorus of the birds is the aromas of the late summer blooms of scarlet and saffron hued primroses. 

The garden is light up with a tapestry of colors--green, red and blue. The neat raised beds of sunflower and shrubs shingle in-between, marked with towering cedars and their loftiness and supremacy.

The grass on both sides has been mown neatly. The moss is scuffed, rolling away from the soil like a carpet. A gazebo stands on the left side.

There is a castle beyond the path. Its walls are made of dark grey stone, hidden in fog, overlooking the moat. It stands on a rugged slope, the windows dark and gaping.
