Jellyfish Parachutes (Sketches)

And it was only in the darkest hour that I saw through three worlds, and felt the roots cling tighter into the soil. I glanced up and glimpsed a handover of dead leaves and worlds embroiled in their own anger. Jellyfish parachutes drifted quietly down while on another world a planet's rings confused ice chunks collided. Beside me, through a window of roots, I saw where these falling objects would soon lie, and shuddered to think at the windows of escape closing with each twisting and coiling ladder.
