KiraKira, Diamond Insanity

by Iris Sweetheart

This is the story of a bag. A bag of rock candies mistaken to be diamonds. Explosions, desperation, and just plain randomness run rampant... and at the center of it all is one blue hedgehog who just wants the world to understand.

3. The Calmness

KiraKira, Diamond Insanity

Chapter 3: The Calmness
Far across the land in a small town made of tiny humble buildings inhabited by tiny humble villagers, life was picturesque. Over on a small knoll rested a sweet cottage with a quaint flower bed out front and a small white picket fence marking off the owner's yard. The front door with a heart shape on its frame opened up and out came a young, pink, short-haired hedgehog in her sassy red dress with a yellow hammer at her side ready to take on the world. Slamming the front door shut behind her, she took in a deep breath and heaved her brightly colored weapon over her shoulder.

"Yep." she said to the world. "It's certainly a fine day."

Down by her red boots a tiny cricket crawled across the gavel path leading to her front porch. It stopped moving its antennas and generally enjoying its quiet peaceful life until a dark shadow loomed over the insect alerting his senses. In a heartbeat, the cricket leaped away from his resting place just as the mighty yellow from the gods above struck down. A thundering boom shook throughout the land and the weapon's wielder, our young female hedgehog, was anything but cheerful.

"A fine day to get back my rock candy Sonic stole from me!" her voice growled through gritted teeth. "YOU HEAR ME SONIC! I WANT MY CANDY BACK!"

…And so the legacy of the mistaken diamonds continues.

The End… for now.
