The Pink Sun
The Pink Sun
Under the Earth's radically transformed sun a old-timer remembers Earth as it once was and the cosmic future it is embarking on.
The sun had discarded, never to return, its familiar colors of yellow and orange and insisted on wearing its new colors of purple, magenta, and icy pink as it rose over the horizon, shimmering and illuminating the alien landscape before it as if pouring its rays through a pink-tinted camera lens. Although technically still Earth, the landscape was foreign if you were one of the few old-timers who could remember what the original landscape looked like. These days, the earth was devoid of any familiar landscape markers that were once imprinted in the collective human mind. Or maybe these very distant memories of telltale mountains' peaks, great forests, deserts, lakes, or ocean beaches were just fanciful daydreams with no substance to back them up. Either way, it was eerie indeed. Where once mountains stood, all you could see was water.
