A Lifetime in a blink
A shortish story describing someone's life in a series of ''blinks''. Basically every blink considerable time has passed since the last blink and the blinks shall together create a telling of a lifetime. For example you can base it around immigration or slavery or history or mental illnesses. Here is an example of the preferable formatting: 'scene in someone's life' blink 'another scene in someone's life at a further point' blink ect.. I hope someone takes interest to this prompt ad tries it out!

Blinks

Big birds are out for flight

And little kids are out too, alright.

Blooming with the shades of blue

The sky of my nation is clear,

Like the ocean of atlantic

Where one dreams to sail into.

*blink*

Its robbed with pearl river

First birds, then kids glance with shiver

With threats and fear

With their lives about to tear.

*blink*

It's smoke all corners

Heavy to breath and see

Lets make our way to homes and flee

as far as we could be.

*blink*

Their stood pillars where kids hid around

And trees where nest were safe and sound

There was once a time

Where you looked at the beautiful sky

This moment its even more intense

Red over blue prevailing thereby.
