THE SEA OF FIRE

My friends and I were walking on the ship deck.

It was late in the evening

and we were all looking at an island full of sand.

As we were looking,

the sky suddenly turned red

and orange

and yellow.

The sky was on fire.

The sea began to steam.

Screams began to fill the burning air.

Babies cried, toddlers screamed,

Adults were worried, and the elderly were scared.

Death was looking everyone in the eye.

Death was approaching and everyone knew it.

Death had lit sea on fire.
