Inspired By A Spotify Background Of A Mother Mother Song I Listened To - Tumblr Posts

The sky has turned a burnt orange color as the fire rages. The smoke has left a haze over the abandoned city. Not even the brightness of the moon could break through. Cars lined the silent streets. What once was a cold November night had turned into a searing hell.

Overlooking the city was a hill that had a lone swingset set atop of it. The hill was surrounded by trees that too were ablaze in the great fire's rage. The old swing set hadn’t been used in years. The chains were rusting and the seats of the swings were cracked. Nonetheless it was still usable.

Two shadows emerge from the smoke. Faces covered by masks and heads covered by hoods. Each figure takes a seat on one of the two swings. A haunting tune started to play brokenly over the city’s alarm system as the figures started to swing.

The fire rages as the grass surrounding the swingset begins to burn and overtake the swinging figures. Even as the fire continues to burn them, the figures continue to swing. They swing until the fire burns them to death.

Many would say that it was a house fire that burned their fair city to the ground. Others believe it was an act of God to punish for not attending church. But the truth died with the two figures on the hilltop swingset.
