Past And Tense

The light shining through her window made Skye want to crawl into a dark hole. Her bedroom walls were a light blue color. The floors and ceiling were the same off-white marble used everywhere else in the castle. It helped the light become brighter where plush, light blue rugs that matched the walls weren't covering. When she had been a child, the morning hours were her favorite time of the day. She loved the excess of light that flowed into her room. Now; all she wanted was something closer to an animal's den to sleep in.

Sunset was Skye's favorite time of the day now. She loved the display of colors as they blended and changed, seemingly melting across the evening sky. She loved how, even as the darkness encroached; it was also swallowed up by the vastness of twinkling stars. She liked moonlight well enough, but preferred moonless nights. Easier to see the countless stars.
