Inside the chrysalis, a suffocating darkness surrounded her. She was a fully prepared butterfly who tried hard to dissolve the tightened grip of the little prison around her. She wanted to see the blueness of the sky again, she wanted to touch it. The struggle of three hours brought her to the calmness of sunlight. She flapped her wings and started to fly.

The slight air carried her up and up above this world. She aimed high, looking at the canopy covering the planet. The cobalt blue sky with little cotton buds attracted her like a magnet. She flew and crossed through foggy clouds.

And again there was a clear crystal cyan sky. The air was thinner and easily carrying her to the destination she headed for. It was dusk now, and power blues dissolved into twilight hues of pure pink.That was a view she wanted to enjoy for hours, but the enchantment of heights where the sky lies made her move. So she left all the fascinations that caught her sight.

When she went by the threshold of atmosphere and space, a new vastness in darkness with many twinkling stars was waiting for her. But she couldn't detect the presence of any sky. The sight of stars was a clue about the long miles between her and the sky.

Here, on this very spot, she looked behind her for the first time. The atmospheric glow brought a smile to her. She escaped from another prison and glanced at the sun, the burning ball of metal. It was terribly fascinating. In the opposite direction the five spinning planets move around the sun. Only if I pass all this, I can see the sky where stars murmur with each other. Maybe they will tell me what they do when their glow fades away and how they again get it.

Floating in space, she passed by Pluto, which humans didn't even consider a planet. Did it affect Pluto? No at all. Nothing in the universe except the Earth is affected by human opinion. Well, our butterfly the explorer crossed the bubble boundary of the solar system. Another cage is evaporated and sets her in free space.

She didn't know that now she was in a bigger prison, which lies in the next one and the next one is a part of an even bigger one. Who knows where is the end of all this and where the sky is or there is no sky. Maybe the sky exists just in our imaginations!

Brilliant story.

sets her in free space.

Or maybe sets her on fire for daring to cross the delicate lines with her delicate wings. Does she possess the power to bear the consequences of her dreams?

Ahh, anyhow...

Atleast she had heavenly adventures and saw the courage of pluto who was isolated and boycotted by the magnificent human beings.

They hurt everyone be it any flesh or a rock.

to cross the delicate lines

boundaries are never delicate . maybe it looks fragile, but these are ruthless. look around the boundaries in our society. do they set us free, to do what we want...power depends on our perspective... isn't it?....well let it go .... What do you think about the vastness of this universe?
it is suffocating , when I think of it.

They hurt...

You know the irony ...we are ashra ful makhloqaaat ....and this is a title which we give ourselves. So indecent...h na!Then we emphasis on the kindness and tranquility blah blah .....in sapiens Yuval call us the magnificent serial killers ..and I think he is right. we hide ourselves behind the many adorned veils.

in sapiens Yuval call us the magnificent serial killers

Maybe that's why angels were hesitant about this mankind when our Lord was sending us here:)

What have you written, is this prose or poetry, is this a story or sorrow, is this anger or resentment, is this love or regret, is this imagination or reality, what is this friend, were you writing a novel in exile? Now as soon as you have returned, you have stunned the bowlers, you have hit fours and sixes with your pen.
