Midgard

So.... first post. I'm going to post many short stories and introductions to large stories here to practice and see how they are received. I may also post some pictures and drawings. Anyways, onto the first story introduction. This is one I writ for an idea I have for a story set in a futuristic world, possibly based on Norse mythology:

It was the thirtieth day of the month. This meant that, in his village, all could see the remarkable monthly phenomenon up above.

As is usual for the night, there were numerous lights that lit up the sky like stars. The giant construct that held these lights could also be seen. But, as is only seen once a month, the spectacle at the end of this miraculous construct was also visible.

There it was, up above, like a silent protector. The giant serpent’s head that glowed magnificently like the mythical moon. Lights shone down from it, and ran down the body trailing behind it, which everyone knew wrapped around the earth.

The giant mechanism was a sign to all that they were safe, despite the sun having died a long time ago. The mechanical serpent wrapped around the earth and heated it, protecting everyone from space that surrounded them, threatening to rush in and destroy their world.
