Diamonds sparkle amongst folds of black velvet. The crisp winter wind prickles my cheeks. I pull my coat tight around my lithe body, yet the heat rises from the naked flesh within. Sleep eludes me, I am restless. I need to be away from this claustrophobic city with its tall skyscrapers crowding in, and its deadly poisonous fumes filling my lungs leaving me breathless.
I ascend the mountain. As I reach its peak I discard my coat. Silver-white moonbeams bathe me. I shake free my long grey mane, drop on all fours and howl my praise to the Moon Goddess.

06/24/2019Hey Rose,
Very close to Poetry, or a sub-genre called: Pretty Prose! Damn, a story in two paragraphs? What are us Mortals supposed to do? Come up with :
"It was a dark and stormy night. In the morning, only the bodies knew the truth."
LOL.
Good work! And I agree with both Aziz and Jd. Welcome to the StoryStar community.
Smiles, Kevin

06/24/2019Aloha Rose,
I made "Pretty Prose " up. I don't think it is a genre...but maybe you invented it!
