1. Eden
The face of the house watches the passing of the seasons. The garden glows blue and white in late summer. The green leaves connected and rooted to the garden by the branches and trunk stand on guard; sentries at the garden's edge.
I have come here seeking refuge, my own Eden in a rushed and stressful life… but soon I'll have to go back. The leaves will change from green to yellow to orange to red to purple to brown. They'll drift to the ground, carpeting it in magnificent colors and making the world appear like a painter's palette. Snow will come, blanketing the world in a muffled silence, imprisoning the life that once thrived. Icicles will start to melt, dripping onto slushy snow and feeding the plants struggling to reach the sun. Flowers will bloom, stretching their petals out and reaching out for the sky. But no, I will not be here to see it.
Life will eventually catch up to me. The world of earning money, stepping on other people to get to your goal, ruthlessly building monopolies. A world where technology rules, not human emotion. Where cold, hard hearts rein at the top and soft, loving souls live at the bottom. A place that I have come to hate… because it took away my Miley.
So I've had a lot of ideas coming to me that are really hard for me to write longer stories for and I've decided to just combine them all into one "story." A lot of people call these drabbles or whatever, call them whatever you want, I'm just posting them. :) Thank you all for taking time to read this and REVIEW!!!
One last note, my condolences go out to the family, friends, teammates, and country of Nodar Kumaritashvili, the young man who died a few days ago in a training run at the Vancouver Olympic Games. Nothing could ever replace this young man or make up for his death and my heart breaks to hear of and watch this horrible tragedy. My heart goes out to all those who have felt the impact of his loss.
