THE FIRST TRY

It was a dim summer night. The sky seemed like it was painted all over with the glow-in-the dark stars and a very distant lighted up full moon was spreading its golden light equally to the black canvas of the Earth. As usual as it happened to all summer, that night the air was humid, sticky and the tangy scent of honey from a fat beehive and also the sleeping flowers came rushing through my nostrils and relaxed me a bit. It was a night all right, but it was summer and summer means that a human being like me will get sticky and hot even in the most wonderful night like that. Well, the night was hot and the air conditioner in my room suddenly made a wonderful decision to break down in a crucial night like this. I did try to sleep or at least shut my eyes off but believe me, it was impossible. I can't even stick to the same position and really couldn't help it to turn my bed into a mess with all of the vigorous flinching and kicking and turning my poor skeleton and body here and there because of the horrid temperature from the lovely surroundings.

Looking around for any signs of peace and soothing calmness, my eyes suddenly fell onto a bright-then dim-light from something that was buried half in the ground. It was night, so shiny things were easy to be noticed you see. The more closer i got to the shining light, the more clearer I saw the light turned from blue to red to purple to white and repeated the cycle again. I was astonished by the scene before my eyes that I got so near to the source of light and reached for it by digging a little into the soil. I always hated dirt so I did that with an engrossed face. By the moment I touched the thing that turned out to be a crystal, my life changed.
