This Alien Earth…
I stumbled upon an alpine peak that resembled the surface of another planet. I breathed in a deep lungful of frigid air to make sure that I was still on Earth. I exhaled frozen vapor. I was home.
The hike to Mt. Colden began below the clouds, and eventually I emerged above them to meet the cerulean blue skies. But at this point of the trek, I found myself in the belly of the cloud. I had been swallowed whole, along with errant sunbeams that attempted to penetrate the gloomth, but were instead refracted and diffused into an eerie light. Any colors that the landscape once displayed were consumed in water, solid & gas. Only I remained liquid as I made my way through the frozen wastes of the false summit of Colden.
