=**"The Spinning Double Helix"**=

The Double Helix, DNA, The DNA is spinning and it gets darker as it descends in a downward spiral motion. It feels like an endless ladder only leading further into oblivion with rainbow grips to guide the young adventurer.

The ladder that stems upward along each winding and bending pole of the double helix is made up of four colors. Red, blue, green, and orange... all along the double helix.

The DNA begins as a massive structure, occupying nearly the entire field of vision. As it passes further away the large double helix grows progressively distant and appears smaller.

The background of the interesting scene is navy blue.

A perfect navy blue...

It seems to bend with the light as if a flash light is being pointed at an area near the peak of the double helix.

The background grows darker the further down one can look and the more the world seems to curve and distorts.

It begins a light navy blue but darkens as the DNA descends and travels deeper into the mesmerizing void.

Soft gentle music can be heard drifting somewhere far off, But still just close enough to hear clearly

The background noise is comprised of techno tones, a faint hum with a friendly tone, and crashing ocean waves along with the sound of the tide being pulled out from the shore and into the sea every so often.

The techno tones are hard to ignore and the steady beats are maddening but they cut as soon as the realization becomes uncomfortably apparent. All that remains are the sounds of the sea and the soothing hum.

If someone is to read this, which they could be at any possible moment, they may be asking themselves "Why are you thinking about all of this?"

The image is powerful, strong, slightly metallic, and bold. The double helix spins and the light and dark emphasis moves with it. Shadows dance across the structure as it spins. My whole thought seems simple enough but becomes increasingly complex the longer I think about this scene. Bottom line I enjoy thinking of it. Maybe "you" will too.

"Why are you thinking about this?"

Because I can.
