To keep my writing skills fresh, I use an app on my iOS Device called "The Brainstormer", by developer Andrew Bosley. I have it generate a random phrase, and I then write either a couple paragraphs or a short story about that phrase. Today's random phrase is, "Galactic Lush Observatory".
~~~~~~
In a far distant galaxy, exists a lush planet, full of much organic life. This planet is called "Argen", and the entire planet is filled with jungle, and tropical life. As you arrive, you start to descend into the atmosphere. Traveling through the clouds, you are then greeted by an explosion of color; bright greens from the tops of the trees, sparkling blues from the pure water, animals of an alien nature are scattered throughout the landscape. A family of animals is drinking at the shore of a flowing river. The two smaller of the animals are playing in the water, pouncing on each other and wrestling. One of the larger ones is drinking cooly from the shore, while the other is looking about and alert; protecting them. They are no larger than an armadillo, but their skin is a smooth grey color, with shiny scales and a blueish tint to them. They are a bit fat, and their nose hangs out about a foot long, resembling an elephants trunk. There must be many visitors to this planet, as the presence of your spacecraft does not bother them. They most likely don't even care that you exist.
Suddenly, unfolding above the colorful landscape, you see this white dome. It does not appear out of place with this lush scenery. A silver tube protrudes from the dome. It appears to be an observatory. This galactic observatory, hidden from prying eyes in this tropical jungle on an alien world, is your destination.
