Title: The Cloud Shaper
Word Count: 109
He gathered the dandelions into a bouquet, sucked in a deep breath and let loose. The dandelion seeds swirled into a cloud around his face, He swirled his hands, shaping them, and blew again. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them, the air was clear, but the sky overhead held the clouds he’d fashioned.
Cloud-Shapers hadn’t existed for centuries, not since they’d been hunted down, putting an end to the devastating Weather War. No one had seen a cloud in longer than that. Irrigation and planes kept the land saturated. But now the clouds came back, and the people marveled as rain fell.
