Too Much Sun

As I laid down in the sand I could feel the overbearing burning sensation of the sun burning my skin. While I laid my head down I could hear the voices of little kids playing in the sand, parents talking in the background, splashing of water, and the barely audible tidal waves. Everything seemed halcyon. Nothing seemed different. Everything was normal. I got tired of the burning sensation of the sun kissing my skin so I decided to stand up and start reading a book.

She’s the only one who remembers how the sun felt through her skin and how beautiful it shined. On the contrary, the other children are jealous of her because she has some memory of the sun, while they don’t. Jealousy caused the children to harass, isolate, and make her depressed.

She must think she is to good to be friends with us, because she is from Earth. And worst of all, she gets to leave this drenched planet. She gets to see the sun, day after day, while we are all stuck on Venus for eternity. Today, in class. We learned about the sun. About how it’s a star, a giant star that shines so brilliantly, and we can only see it once every

man. He never gave too much away. His real name was unknown and he would only respond to the name tag above the head of his bed, ‘Chop’.
