Colored Lava

The floor is lava! Okkie shouted, as he ran to climb a lamppost. He clung to it like a Koala to a eucalyptus tree. Despite having received some very bad news a few hours ago, I was laughing out loud as I clumsily climbed into a garbage can. At that moment I knew that his portrait would be with a lava floor but a special, colorful lava. My whole world seemed to be sinking, but along the way there are people who manage to keep you safe. Like Rose's board on the Titanic but with room for two.
