Clouds Stood Still

The earth spun and spun and spun.  Even the sun was spinning, and it leaked through the newborn clouds.  He drove as fast as he could but the earth was spinning too fast against him and he moved nowhere.

The clouds moved nowhere.  Three hours and the clouds' colors changed from blue to blue to blue and they grew until they burst on the spinning horizon with the speed and energy of a 50-year-old photograph.
