Word count - 172

Dark, angry clouds closed in on the sky above; like a predator, scoping out its prey. The daunting iron colors made the once royal blue sky seem like a distant memory and the heavens above were feeble and helpless to stop what was to come. Amongst the shady azure were flocks of bronze speeding through the sky - the birds were fleeing away from the presence of a soon to come monster. Terrifying blacks and silvers consumed the atmosphere, cackling at the people below who were running to seek shelter. The colors danced wildly with the rough winds, as though an insane jig that would burn off their feet if they dared to stop. The sun had been kidnapped - taken away with a shield of protection over its eyes, it was going to be too intense for even the biggest star to witness.  Violent violets, antagonizing auburn and sullen saffrons swirled around in the ethereal, they were hostile, relentless, and unable to feel remorse.
A raging storm was about to strike.

A cluster of black seemed to surround the car; the ebony skies perfectly on par with my thoughts. The headlights were the only solace from the darkness, both from the car park and from my own mind.
