Luminous
“Bioluminescence”
By Scott L Vannatter
Corey had said it was not just a fluke; it was important and it was going to have serious consequences.
Corey had been right; he had not wanted to be; it just was.
A freak mixing of some type of airborne/waterborne chemical leftover with living tissue was the cause and could not be ignored any longer.
It had started: when an organism died, it now began to luminesce; it glowed, and brightly.
Corey looked out at the near-daylight brightness given off by the dead, by the soil the dead went into, and he realized might never see natural darkness ever again.

Hmmm….would like to understand this better….is it a metaphor or is it that Corey found how to bring the dead alive? or is Corey immortal? – Sorry, just trying to get your perspective.

Sorry, neither. Corey saw a problem that when things were dying they began glowing. After awhile, there would be so much glowing that we would have nearly eternal daylight. I wanted to show that we would miss the dark if it were gone.

Nice spin on the picture prompt. Sounds like the cycle of life in a way.
Or – maybe it’s just an “oops” moment.

Very imaginative. I even now do not see the natural darkness. It’s so much illuminated by electric power.
