Movie

My eyes studied the screen. It depicted a bouncing family sitting in a living room.

I had found the VHS in the bottom of a basement and got the movie to play.

This was a home video. The quality was trash and the sound was worst, but it was still watchable. The humans were celebrating around a large tree.

A girl and the boy cried out at the sight of a present. Both children ran and jumped to embrace their parents.

I paused it.

Reaching out, I touched this joyful family.

How could humans be happy over such trivial things?


This one is so serious compared to the ones that I have been doing lately, ah well. It's a nice change of pace.

Gosh, I love Christmas but I don't want to see a thing about it until after Thanksgiving!

No store will ever agree with me...
