Tiny Odyssey

Written by DragonHug --- The sun was not up yet. The swing was level. --- The sun peeked. It grazes an old tree. The thick bark stays dark. Only a sliver catches the first light. --- The sun was coming up. A pebble sat on the cool dirt. Around it were other pebbles. Higher things warmed first. Sun kept rising. The pebble stayed where it was. --- The sun was up, and the windowsill was warming. Along the smooth wood, a little beetle wanders. It moves slowly. Sometimes it pauses. The sun rose higher, spreading light on the sill. The little beetle is still there, still wandering.
