“Sky View” by Prissy Sturz

Submitted to Contest #240

People were beginning to mistake the sky for the sea; that’s why they started jumping off the ship. The jumpers had grown so weary of the white masts flapping in the wind and the creak of the wooden floorboards beneath their feet. They grew weary of sailing, of traveling amongst the clouds for what seemed to be an eternity, waiting to see where the wind would wisp them off to.

Author bio

There are three rules to ensure your safety when the night arrives: 1. Close all your windows and make sure to lock them-don't mislead them into thinking they are welcome 2. Keep all of your curtains open-they like to watch you when you are sleeping. Having your curtains closed will make them mad. 3. Make sure that you are sleeping before they arrive-they'll know if you're awake Be wary, traveler. Do not open your eyes until the sun rises. They are children of the night. They seek to add into the eternal abyss.
