Down The Block

by Miro MM


Down The Block

A road in-front, grass covering a lot with some brush around the side of a fence with trees behind it. A house sits cozily to the right with a small wooden gate in-front of it, A tree covering a small portion of the view of the house with a small concrete path leading to the sidewalk. But, everything is Blue, no green, no grey, no ordinary color. It all has just a tint of blue across everything. The front door to the house opens following that the screen door as Thunderlane steps out wearing glasses, his backpack over his back as he is also wearing AirPods. He shuts the doors closed and locks them as he walks towards the gate. He opens the gate and closes it back before continuing to walk down the path before turning a left and down the sidewalk as a car passes by. He soon makes it to the end of his block as he waits at the crosswalk between his next destination just on the other side straight ahead.

He looks up to the Pedestrian light sign signal revealing the hand, but it is the only thing in color. It is pink colored. He looks to his right and sees no cars and then looks over to his left with no cars coming. He looks back at the crosswalk before quickly darting back to his left.


Eight Months Ago


Thunderlane walks down to the small gate of his house, everything is now pink colored this time as he opens it, he is walking a little faster this time as he turns and walks down the sidewalk. He stops midway before walking any more as he pulls out his left AirPod and looks at it. It is green. He holds it and stares at it for a few moments before looking straight with a sorta deadpan look.


Ten Months Ago


He walks down the sidewalk without glasses as everything is now green. He struggles to see as his vision is blurry as he blinks and also tries squeezing his eyes to see better. He blinks a few times before the color of his eyes switch over to a yellow color.


Thirteen Months Ago


He walks down the sidewalk, everything is now yellow. Not wearing his glasses before he looks down and sees that the laces of his shoes aren't tied and the laces are also red. He looks back up seeming to remember as he continues walking not to tie them back up.


Eighteen Months Ago


He quickly rushes down and opens his gate. Everything is now red. He runs before he trips on his own shoe laces for them not being tied and almost falls but stops himself from doing it. He sighs and looks over at his hand and sees a small part of his palm is purple. He looks up with a deadpan look.


Thirty Months Ago


Everything is now purple. He quickly runs down and makes a left running down the sidewalk as he looks up and sees the leaves of the tree he is about to pass are an orange yellowish color. He passes the tree and as he looks back down slightly to the sidewalk.


Thirty-Two Months Ago


Thunderlane opens the door to his house as he walks outside and shutting the door behind him as he walks for a few moments before stopping. He looks down and digs into his left pocket trying to find something as he only pulls the inside cloth of the pant leg, which is also a bluish color. He quickly looks up with a deadpan and a slightly disappointed look.


Thirty-Five Months Ago


There is no color, It's just black and white as he runs left and rushes down the sidewalk. Quickly running across the sidewalk over to the next sidewalk, Rushing quickly over to a bus stop and stops standing looking both ways to see of the bus is coming before just standing and waiting. He then realizes something as he checks his pockets and realizes that he forgot it. He scoffs as a car passes by before he quickly runs back in the direction of his house.


Back In The Orange


He stands outside of the door of his house and turns around back inside and walks inside and quickly grabs his wallet off the small wooden table with. He makes his way back outside and gets to his gate and opens it and steps out making a left running down the sidewalk. He makes it over the crosswalk and to the bus stop as its very windy and it seems to be cold as he shiver slightly holding his around shoulders to keep him warm as he waits for the bus. The bus comes soon enough as he boards and sits down on chairs setting his backpack to the side of him as the bus soon starts driving down the road. After about a minute he slightly sniffles his nose before moving his hand to his face as he sneezes into his arm. He is sitting in bed, tissues laying all around as he is covered in a blanket. As he grabs a tissue and sneezes into it.


In The Purple


He runs down the sidewalk looking up as he stares up at the tree that had orange yellowish leaves as he stands looking at it, It is purple like how everything is around. He turns around and runs back over to his house, opens the gate as he quickly gets to his door and sets his backpack outside as he walks inside. He comes back out wearing a jacket as he grabs his backpack and puts it on and runs back to his gate and down the sidewalk. Before tripping as he falls almost face first into the concrete, he winces slightly as he picks himself up and sees that he has scraped his right hand. He winces in pain as he touches it with his other hand.


In The Red


He stares at his hand as he stands just In-front, a few steps away from where he fell before looking over to it. He walks and then trips again.


In The Yellow


He stops a quarter of halfway down the sidewalk as he kneels down and ties his shoes. He stand back up after tying his shoes back up as he continues walking. But his vision is blurry because he isn't wearing glasses and falls yet again onto the concrete, the cause is of a crack going through a small side of the sidewalk.


In The Green


He walks then stops as he digs in his jacket pocket and pulls out his glasses and puts them on. He continues walking with music in his AirPods blocking out noise, not realizing a older lady is walking behind him trying to move past him. She soon catches up and pats him on the back as he quickly looks back as she looks back at for a few moments before continuing to walk. He looks down at his AirPod.


In The Pink


He stands middle way through the sidewalk looking at his AirPod before turning back to see if anyone is behind him and sees nobody but a car passing in the distance. He turns back and walks without putting it in as he walks. He looks to his right as he sees if a car is coming before a car suddenly honks to the left of him as he jolts back spooked slightly.

"Sorry!" Thunderlane yells for the driver to hear as he continues walking down the crosswalk as the car drives past down the road.


Back In The Blue


He stands looking waiting for the hand sign to change as he crosses his arms. He checks his watch before the hand signal turns into a walking person as he walks down the crosswalk to the other side. He happens to glance to his right and sees a girl from his school on the other side, Rainbow Dash. She looks over and waves to him as he waves back continuing to walk. He looks back and thinks but then makes his way back to the bus stop.


One Week Later


Everything is now back in color, the grass is green, the clouds are white and the skies are blue. Rainbow Dash walks down the crosswalk to the other side. Wearing AirPods herself, she walks down the sidewalk before Thunderlane soon catches up behind her as he pats her on her shoulder as they both stop and lock at each other.

"Yeah?" Rainbow asks pulling out one of her AirPods

"You mind if I walk with you?" Thunderlane asks kindly

"Yeah, sure" She responds smiling as he smiles as they both walk down the sidewalk together.




..The End..
