We sat up here together waiting for the green flash*. Dushko broke out the slivovitz to toast the event.
The wind dropped to a gentle current as we watched the sun accelerate to the horizon.**
Some of us are pretty sure we saw the green flash, the others were not so convinced.

* The ‘green flash’ at sunset is an established fact, a similar effect to ‘mirage’.
** The sun is entirely below the horizon when it sets, its posthumous visibility is an optical effect caused by refraction.
