Before it Was Over
If you could pick a time in your life to go back to, what would it be? When you were young? When you were strong? When you had all your friends? Your lover? Your family? Or maybe you have a more specific moment in mind, hm? The day one of your important people came home? Or maybe the day you met your love? How about the day your child was born?
Now, think about that time - that moment - picture it as if you were there right now instead of imagining it as it was years ago or even yesterday. It is pertinent you picture yourself there right now. Think of how the sun or wind feels on your skin, of how your clothes rustle as you breath in and out (in and out), the touch of your love's bare skin on yours, of the chirping birds or the laughter of your friends or the sound of your mother puttering around in the next room as she makes breakfast for you; picture the malachite of the grass, the azure of the sky, the vivacious glimmer in your love's eye, the pearly white teeth of your friends smiles and smirks, the smell of your lover's cologne, the taste of your mother's cooking in your mouth...
Are you there? Can you feel yourself in that moment - that time?
Yes?
Good, good, good, oh good...Now, what if I told you I could put you back in that time, that moment? What would you say?
That I'm crazy? Ah ha! Ha, aha, ha, ha. Yes, I suppose you would say that. Give me you hand, my fellow (m'lady).
Why? Because if you give me your hand, I can take you back. I can give you that time, that moment back. Now, now, don't make that face! It's true! For a day, I can give it back to you. You can go back to before it was over and live it with new eyes. With new appreciation.
I swear! I swear this is the truth, now trust me good fellow (lady) and give me your hand.
The price? No price! I am a humble soul and only want to use my gift to see others happy. Now please, just give me your hand.
Ah thank you...
Now, close your eyes and breath in; there you go.
Before it was over, you were there, they were there, everyone was hale and everyone was well and you were innocent of what was to come...
What do you think of this introduction? Curious for what's t come? All in all, this should end up being 11-15 chapters depending on how I decide to break this up with the characters.
Thank you very much for reading and pretty please review!
