Excellence Award in the 'Write Along 2018' competition

The sky the colour of black
The people only known as shadows
No one free, no one happy.
Lightning struck the ground
Heavy, thick smoke filled the sky.
Everyone trapped in a merry-go round
Trying to get out
But never surviving.
Broken pieces of hearts float around
And never come back.
Time is against the dark shadows
And little is left
All of the life left is gone.
All hope is burnt to ash
All happiness floated away
Light does not exist
The shadows killed all of it
And darkness filled the earth.
