Hitchiker From Another World

1 Sunday, an overarching day both raw edge conduit and coarse grain shelter for that soul in torment, it’s when psyches plagued by doubt face those sudden twists and turns we call bizarre, thoughts of the macabre and their covert operation may intrude into our leisure zone as skin rash nettle hazard. we’re there latent paranormal hidden hands as I drew closer to a roadside curb whose mortar filling had been shrivelled due to timeline passage? 2 One can be blind to seismic portent, atmospheric tension’s silent whisper, random omen pointer surreptitious, little did I know what lay ahead bar dim light inkling and its scene-shifter impact at an awkward later stage, as the wheels of my car began to screech a pulsing nebula of images stoked an inner world sixth sense, skepticism’s early cloud speck haze now off-limit as orange-red sunlight shafts reveal an ornamental placard. . 3 It had this brazen mantra, that cryptic but incisive query- “Going somewhere?” Light green paint brush clusters and intertwining leafs garnished borders of this plaque with its scheme in transit blithe charm, an angel face hitchhiker stood, her ocean blue crest eyes openly inviting gold rush dawn apogee, a silken twang rippled like some fresh mint oxbow spring chase or meander. “Hello, I'm Lelia. Life is an algebra of enigmatic hue and strange encounters going into orbit. Clandestine journey for bohemian quest Who knows what convoluted upshot might ensue?”

This was a tremendous write! Fantastic job placing 10th in my contest. Enjoyed the free write sensibility. Sorry it took so long to judge..a hiccup in the space-time continuum.

I sure loved getting to the part about the cool looking hitchhiker. A very creative piece of writing, Howard.
