Anthology of Speculative Scribblings: Aloft

"Purple clouds colored the light as the blue balloon soared through them. The man flying the balloon could only watch with wonder as they floated past. He’d heard that the upper levels of the sky contained a rainbow of clouds that changed color depending on the weather, but, until now, no one had been able to prove it. However, he would change that and stay aloft for as long as his balloon would carry him. 

For days on end, he drifted along the air currents, not really paying attention to where he was going, but instead following the colors. He saw every color of the rainbow aside from one: yellow. He hadn’t been able to find any rumors or stories of what would cause yellow clouds, only that it was dangerous. But, he lived for danger."

Sorry for the late posting for this month's story! My family was in town so I had to prioritize them over posting. However, the story was up on my website on time so in the future, if releases are late, please check on my website first to see if it's been posted there! Fun fact, but normally it gets released a few hours earlier on the website before I get around to posting it on here.

This story is closely tied to the picture this time as I picked the picture for a flash fiction challenge this past month. So I hope you enjoyed it, because I had fun writing it! I've written a lot over the past month (4 whole stories!) but most of them will be added to the patron library instead of being published in full on here. So please support me on Patreon so you can read them when they are released!
