Voices under the Sun 陽光下的聲音

Golden light cast over immense hills in the distance as the sun slowly drifted into the centre of the sky.

Laughing echoed through the girls’ cozy bunkroom as they sent out spies to get revenge on the boys for knick-knocking.

Loud rain sounded on the thin sheet of metal covering the hardwood roof, while all of us snuggled up watching a happy movie.

“La-La-La-La…” Arghh, the agonising sound of people screaming in the shower. ARGHH.

“Entities: Unknown. Origin; Earth.” I giggled as I pretended to be an alien detective from the movies.

Green grass soft below my feet as I slowly walked towards a kangaroo, but it scampered away before I could touch its red fur.
