A small head peeked through the entrance to the attic, standing on the pull-down ladder attached to the ceiling. He climbed up through cautiously, searching for the light switch, finally finding it and flipping it on. A dull, dim light filled the musty room, giving it an eerie glow. Looking around, he spotted what he was looking for, a dusty, old box in the corner labeled 'toys'. He lifted the lid and dug around inside, coming back up with a few old toy cars. He replaced the lid and got up to leave when something caught his eye, a small corner of paper sticking from a box.
He bent over and pulled slightly, it slid right out, it was about the size of a photograph. He flipped it over, examining the people in the photo. A tall, lanky man with spiky blue hair grinned over the shoulder of a shorter woman with deep purple hair and green eyes, they both had an arm around a small boy that resembled them both. He had deep, olive skin; green, slightly slanted eyes. His hair was spiky like his father's, but it was blue/violet in color. The picture was torn and faded, but the colors still shone through. The three people looked so happy, it made him wonder who they were.
Toy cars in hand, along with the photo, he scampered down the ladder, making sure to fold it back up into the ceiling. He pushed open the door to the kitchen, marching up to his grandmother and presenting her with the photo. "Gramma, who's that. In the picture?" She took the picture from him and studied it, smiling at the memories it brought back. "Well, little one. That woman there is me, that's your grandfather, and that's your daddy," She said, pointing to each in turn. The boy smiled," That was you? You were very pretty Gramma" Noodle laughed, pulling the young boy into a hug. She stood and went to fetch a picture album from the hall closet, and for the rest of the afternoon, the two looked through every photo, laughing at all the memories.
Well, there you have it. I hope you enjoyed it all...
