The Extra Long Sunset
As the sun sank toward the horizon, doing it's best to mark the end of the day and usher in the coming night, the sky filled with beautiful oranges and reds and purples that danced together and reflected off the fluffy white clouds that dotted the scene here and there. Sunsets in the City were all picturesque, but this one seemed to be moreso than most. As if the City had brought in a classical earth painter to create the perfection.
However, instead of lasting the usual amount of time that a sunset should last, it seemed to hang in time. Frozen. Unmoving and unchanging. No more stars showed past the edges than there had been at the start, the moon did not get up, and the colors of the display did not shift even a little bit.
For six hours, the sun remained setting but not progressing. Then, as if nothing had happened, the dance finished, and night was upon the City and it's people.
