A Hot Summers Storm
Chapter 1
The sun beams shattered like glass through the layers of branches and leaves that made up the thick denseness of the jungle, striking sharply on the bare skin of any creature that dare roamed out of shade. The floor of the tropical paradise was still moist with pools of water and various streams that run through, under fallen trees and around bends of eroded earth. The flowers of the jungle were at their most beautiful in this weather; the sun burst their petals with light to give the illusion that the flower was illuminating itself; deep oranges and biting yellows stuck out amongst the various shades of green and brown. The hot air took water from the plants around and suspended it, to create a stiff humidity.
The constant movement of creatures and foliage was not disturbed by the addition of another creature walking at a relaxed pace down a trodden path. The creature's fur lay only on his head and dispersed thinly across the rest of his body; its eyes were cobalt blue and shone out against his thick chocolate hair. A layer of water formed across his brow and was wiped away by steady, soft hands. The colours of the creature were strange against the natural background of greens and browns, its skin was white but hot flushed, a layer of light blue covered its chest and another of white covered its thighs; its feet wore covers tied together with string. A machine sat firm on its wrist and shades for his eyes rested on the fold of his top covering. This creature was not unwelcomed by the jungle that surrounded it; for the jungle knew the creature rather well. The eldest son of a litter of five with a strong father and a weight of the safety of world on their shoulders.
The creatures name was Scott Tracy.
His escape from a house full of shrieks and groans had almost relaxed him but he knew he would not be fully happy until he reached the soft white sand with its the clear blue waves that hugged the shore. He lifted his hand to push aside large leaves to clear his path and small smile grew across his face as he looked with awe across the vast length of the ocean in front of him.
He walked slowly kicking sand up in front of him once he was only a few metres from the water's edge he slipped off his trainers and socks, pulled off his t-shirt and ran with a childish grin into the cooling liquid. He lay on his back for minutes on end, lifting his head now and again to check of his position and that he was not getting sun burnt. After finally deciding he was well and truly relaxed he pushed himself up and on his feet and strolled to were his things laid. Lowering himself to the ground he gave a satisfying sigh. He was calm, consoled and collected and let the sun warm his body as he drifted into a deep replenishing sleep.
