The Two Paths

 It was a glorious day in the countryside, so peaceful and quiet. It was evening and everyone was getting ready for bed then there was this ear-splitting noise that they heard. All the men in that countryside came to find out what was happening and there was a wildfire caused by a lightning strike. Everyone was so scared but something unexpected happened.  The fire was not coming to the other side and nothing was destroyed but everything on the other side was grey. Their world was disappearing inch by precious inch: a lush, sun-drenched land full of colour and life becoming a barren, ruinous, grey wasteland.

What would become of them all? Was there even a future?  People from the other border started coming to the side where there was life. Soon the Countryside was split into two paths, one path leading to the dryland and the other one to where there was life. One day there was rain, everything was changing to normal.  Everyone was so happy, all the people said in one big voice” what a crazy adventure it was”.
