British

It was incredibly pink and grey. It was an inexplicable, melancholic, ethereal mixture of the two colors. We all fell silent. The sudden bend in the mountain road muted us all as the vast sea emerged on our left. But it was the rugged peaks of the mountain range catching our attention. Like a giant spider's legs, the chipped peaks of the mountain stretched long into the sea, well beyond the valley where the city found shelter. The spider's leg even sunk underwater, but only to reappear again and rise, rise until another chipped peak broke its momentum and pushed it back to the water. As far as our eyes could see, two or three of these spider legs rested in the gigantic mass of water. The water almost coalesced with the sky and the murky clouds, making it impossible to spot a clear horizon. An enormous greyish canvas to paint on- this is probably what the Sun thought, staring down at the scenery. Picking up a pink paint bucket, he hid behind the thick veil of the clouds and emptied the bucket's contents on the sky.
And we just stared quietly at the result. There were no beams of the sinking sun, nor the orange face winking at us for a last time. It was all too blunt and quixotic; the hopeless love that comes to haunt you when you are old and seen too much to believe that such feelings could be real. But it was there, with all its swiftly fading beauty. The spider's legs, the sea and the sky all started to immerse into the night as the Sun cleaned up the pink mess. Tiny, blinking lights of the city appeared and the mountain road took a sharp right turn, tearing our eyes and minds from the landscape.

'Oh for fuck's sake how drunk I got' yelled the chubby girl getting on the minibus. Another 7-8 chubby girls followed, their obese bodies radiating an obnoxious combination of sweat, alcohol and stupidity. They screamed and they shouted, giggled and laughed, cursed and talked, burped, apologized and cursed again. After a ten minute ride, they got off the minibus, into the night. 'Fucking British', said the chubby girl and apologized once more.

Fucking British, we all thought.
