The Great Utterance – A Prayer to the Sun, by Cryptik, created for the 2017 SHINE Mural Festival in St. Pete, Florida.

“AHEM!”

The two boys froze in their tracks as they heard a pair of familiar voices clearing their throats loudly to get their attention. The room temperature seemed to drastically drop and time seemed to slow down as they stayed still

“It’s them isn’t it…” the green haired boy glanced at his male friend who nodded slowly. They turned their heads slowly to meet the menacing, piercing gazes of two females

“Heyyyy Julie, Zoey… L-Lovely day today huh?” The boy began to speak-

“Why, yes it is~ Except don’t I remember specifically telling you two not to go off on your own? Why do you think that is, Jack?~” the orange haired girl cut him off

Jack shuddered at her rather icy tone of voice. He glanced at his partner in crime and whispered “Zoey’s mad mad… Blair… buddy… little help..?”

Blair’s bright yellow eyes were glued to the bright green ones of the second female beside Zoey. She hadn’t uttered a single word after clearing her throat but her silence and glare spoke volumes to the boy who stayed unmoving.

“Ah… Sub leader is in Silent but Deadly mode… I see…” Jack muttered as he glanced at Julie then back to Zoey. They just wanted to sneak out cuz they were tired of staying indoors. The girls said they should stay in because they broke some kind of stupid rule and the rest of the team voted on it. What the heck is “Repetitive breaching of instructions” anyway? They’re meant to be a free team yet they still live under some unspoken rules. Heck if they hadn’t broken it, they would’ve been in a fatal situation.

“I’m waiting for my answer, Jack~” Zoey’s yellow eyes seemed to make her even more intimidating as her gaze pierced through him. The only thought both the boys had at that point: We’re screwed

Just decided to add a short story to it. And I’m actually laughing so dang hard at how it came out 🤣 Anyway, I guess I’ll start posting here more often. Wanna see my other work? Check out my Instagram @machcryptik (yes. Same username as this account)

Side note: Also check out this dude’s beats. Gotta support my boy, improving slowly ✨
