52 Sunsets

It seemed unfamiliar before I'd opened my eyes, then flooded with scenes of polka dot skies. There was not just one sun, I count 52, the colours they varied from pink through to blue. But between these suns, a magnificent sight, were space-crafts emitting chocolate strobe lights. The brown oozy liquid formed rivers and falls, and ran down a mountain ten thousand feet tall. I looked at my fingers and wiggled my toes, to find they'd been swapped round to replace my nose. Then what seemed like minutes, infact had been hours, I took a few moments to teach human powers. The alien beings clapped their hands in awe, and hastily pushed me towards a green door. I thought I'm a goner, but fall I did not, in their funny language they told me to watch. So I followed their eye line and gasped in shock and silently watched as they each took a rock. They pulled back their arm, and fired like a gun, until every light from the rainbow-like suns, was put out, extinguished, a sun now no more Can't remeber the rest, I'd passed out on the floor.
