Three 50-word "Snapshots" from Hut Sheet

The Sky
The sun is setting in the west. It's glow shines above the trees behind my hut and seems to make them stick out above all other things. The moon sits on top of the ocean and the stars twinkle overhead ready for night fall to arrive. Off in the distance, city lights brighten the horizon and you can only imagine the commotion within it.
Gentle Water
Wind whispers outside the hut that stands firm on the sand. The grains of sand seem to fade and disappear into the ocean that sits calmly along the shore. Splash. A fish jumps in the water possibly escaping a predator. Nature's beauty shows its true colors. The image in my head resembles a picture in a dream.
Home
My mother used to say to me, "Make sure your room is clean for our guests." I would reply, "I don't need to worry about that, they won't go in my room anyway." In my hut, everything will be organized and neat for any guests that may visit. The bed will be made tightly with no wrinkles in sight. Books and magazines nicely stacked and the dust-free shelves. Guests will walk in with the sense of cleanliness and feel like they are in true paradise.
