Tuki Tuki River

Mr. B made us do a 15 minute quick write focusing on paragraphs. Here is mine: The ball of light slowly rose up from the horizon, beams of light arose from its core.  “It's so beautiful,” I spoke, destroying the silence. “Yeah, it is.” Replied Reverse Giraffe; he was the  only intelligent giraffe with a long body and short legs. By the time the campfire went out the sun was fully up and in the sky.
