White Gold
Her rocking chair creaks as she pierces the needle through the white lily petal making a flower crown for all of her grandchildren. Her sweet lavender scent has overtaken any other smell in my house. Her face is as smooth as a new pot in the process of being made in a pottery wheel, making anyone forget she was a ninety-year-old woman. The sun falls on her silver curls flawlessly and her laugh tickles mine to join her in unison.That’s my observation of my grandmother, however, the townsfolk see her as a dead lady and her granddaughter as an insane woman fresh out of a coma who pretends to live...

Everything was different than how I remembered, but it was better. My eyes were lighting up at what I was seeing. I looked around me and noticed the streets looked the same as where I live, but they were futuristic. There was less of everything and the air was cleaner. There were floating lights that resembled jellyfish, but they floated and gave us light. Wait, us? I hadn't noticed anyone else. I did notice flying objects that resembled small glass domes, that looked similar to the vehicles from the "Jetsons". Am I stuck in a cartoon from the 80's? what is going on here? I laughed outloud the...
