Long Strides

Pretty cool! It was interesting, but very vague. Not so vague that the reader just ends up tilting their head in confusion, but vague enough so that someone can make their own conclusions. Sorry I just overused the word "vague in that sentence, but I couldn't think of a word more accurate to describe it. Anyway, on to the few little things I noticed.

"Sometime TODAY Barry!!!"Someone's probably already pointed out this problem, the exclaimation marks take away from everything else. One would work just as well.
Lugging these heavy sacks up the hill. Again. And again. I I like how you repeated the work again as seperate sentences, it seemed to show frustration and boredom caused by lugging th heavy bags. I wasn't really sure about the first of the line though.
"Come on! Some people have lives and don't have times for your laziness!" She screamed like there was no tomorrow.
The sky shifted colors above us, holding my attention for a moment. Blues changing to purples, and reds changing to oranges.
We have a beautiful sky here. One for taking pictures, holding memories, forgetting, loving, then dying.Absolutely loved this description here!
Everything here was for dying.
The grass a prickly green and flowers shining a perfect sheen. While I dragged my feet through the thick glass they laughed and winked.
When I'd carried the final sack up the hill, I threw the contents into the hole. The dead would enrich the flowers and the make the world look beautiful again. On the outside.

Cool! I like the vibe and atmosphere it gave me. I do think you can improve on your grammar and flow a little. Describe emotions and feelings in more vivid, interesting words. But yeah, I really like the over all vibe.

Oh, you guys: this is a fantasy world. Which is why the sky changes colors like that.... It's not a real world..

Lugging these heavy sacks up the hill. Again. And again. Don't only use one word, just use a comma and/or something different to help it convey into the next like this. "Lugging these heavy sacks up the hill, again and again." Thats really how you should write in in my point of view.
"Come on! Some people have lives and don't have times for your laziness!" She screamed like there was no tomorrow.
The sky shifted colors above us, holding my attention for a moment. Blues changing to purples, and reds changing to oranges. Now, this is something I really hate in a writer. Not to be offensive, but saying the same word over again is really just double saying it. That is not really needed in it. Yes its a pretty scene, but thats not really possible unless the sun is setting or rising. So that really needs to be explained better.

First of all, very beautiful. The images you gave me were so vivid.

Hi! Nice to meet you ( so to speak)...WELCOME to YWS! I liked this so much I'm making a B-line for the * like * and * follow * buttons. Sarebare really covered all the nitpicks I was going to bring to light, so I'm just going to commend you on your style of writing. It is insanely beautiful. And believe me, I don't say that to just anybody...It flowed so beautifully, and, meh...how do I put this: I just sank into it. Although it was short, I became so engrossed...wow. There were quite a few mistakes, but I'm going to keep this review positive and just say a final "well-done"!

HI

Very beautiful writing style. You manage to be vague without being too vague (one of my pet peeves). First, nitpicks:

"Sometime TODAY Barry!!!"Another pet peeve is multiple exclamation points.
Lugging these heavy sacks up the hill. Again. And again.
"Come on! Some people have lives and don't have times 'time' not 'times' for your laziness!" She screamed*insert comma* like there was no tomorrow.
