Apple blossoms fall softly to the ground. She sits there, too, a perfect picture of peace. Mother.
Her dress is white, a ring of roses embroidered along the edge. Perfect for the seashore, you used to say, and perfect for sitting with you
She laughs softly, a gentle, motherly tone as I race around amidst the rain as white. I am only five, and you are not there yet.
I gather an armful of petals, pouring them over mother's head, her blonde hair becoming covered in a snowstorm of sweetly scented flowers. She smiled—a fairie smile, we used to say. She gathers me into a hug, then lets me free to dance with the flowers again.
I catch one in my hand, feeling it's soft fragrance. Then I gasp as it melts into a red liquid, dripping down over my hand, through my fingers. Blood.
The petals are still falling, but as they hit the ground, they turn to blood. It swishes around my ankles, and I scream. I turn for her, but she is leaving, looking back only once, not saying a word.
The blood is filling the earth, higher, higher still, until it reaches my head and I gasp and quietly drown.
A bit freaky, yes…It's symbolic, by the way, nothing else, though Max really did remember that event up until the blood.
Oh, and I'm going to be eating my words over here. Last chappie I said that Max's family isn't really tight at all—forget that. It's an awesome idea, so I'm keeping it! MUHAHAHAHA!
Anyways…reviews!
Jani Reme: Thank you! LOL, I guess that would be one difference…
Well…all I can say is…great minds think alike! Except I'm not a great mind…anyway…
You peoples are coming dangerously close to the plot…
Oh, and the REALLY annoying thing about personne du monde is that I've read one of his stories and it actually is pretty good. Not as good as yours, mind you, but pretty good. Meh. Evil reviewers are supposed to have sucky stories!
Speaking of stories, is A Day in the Life going to be updated? It's awesome!
personne du monde: Really? That's very interesting. As I said before the chapters are really short. You have also told me. And you know what? You don't like, don't read.
