Dusted

Men came with their ship. Armstrong on the moon. Dust stirred in a sigh. Rising it covered the false skin of man. Sharp, angular cold dust abrades charged and clinging like gunpowder deal killer magnetic lunar dust hazard warning moon Dust asset wonder arrival man on moon colonies life expanding a gateway orb platform to stars microwaved glass Moon dust the dream ash a hydrogen source an oxygen source the remnants of stars histories first scent

Vivid imagery, Debs! Oh, feels like one place I'll pass on. Still, I can always admire it from a distance.:) Hope all's well with you, and Smokey is behaving! Keep well, love, Mikki

Looks as though you have a winner here. I have been too busy with other things to try the contests that are more involved, but when I get the time would like to try this one. I had so much fun with your language contest and I did slip in a few slang words of my own. Love, Joyce
