rocket

2024/06/18

It's early morning or early evening. The sky is an indigo blue. A small rocket takes off from a simple launchpad, blasting into the air and leaving a towering inferno on the ground. The problem is that the rocket has launched at an angle, bouncing off the support structure to the left of it before seemingly regaining its trajectory and heading for space. The support structure has two small, pale, white lights on it and is slightly faded towards the top, suggesting fog. On the side of the rocket is a single round portal, revealing a figure silhouette in greenish light.

A gray, nearly black sky, heavy with clouds. The only hint of sunlight is a dull gray light around the horizon. Sitting on a flat, barren landscape are two objects: a barn-like building on the right, and a tall, black rocketship on the left. To the right of the barn is a spindly metal antenna with a red light on top. To the left of the rocket is a metal support structure. There is a glowing green window lit on the body of the rocket. There are two lit windows on the right side of the barn, also.

A small pond surrounded by dark woods. It's late afternoon, and the clear blue sky above the treeline is starting to get pink. There are no visible clouds. The pond is clear and reflective; a low fog hovers over it. In the sky hang two planets, both a ghostly white the way the moon is when it's out during the day. One planet is huge, and looms over the scene. The more distant one is closer to the horizon. Arcing into the sky, cutting between them, is the tiny white dot of a rocket ship, smoke billowing out behind it. A few birds are visible flitting over the trees.

A tall, narrow, houselike building made of brick and concrete. The roof has various antennas. The house has a large circular window, right under the roof, and a smaller, arched window to the lower right. There is an arched overhang directly under the house; sort of an open porch. A person paces on the porch, staring at a phone. On a platform in front of it—an extension that looks like a large front porch—stands a small rocket ship.
