A walnut rests before my eyes
Summer. Summer! Summer… How many summers do I now have under my belt? Twenty-six… twenty-seven? When asked how old we are, our answers do not falter… but what are the questions we’re actually answering to? How many years have passed since we were born? How many years we have lived? How many summers have I lived? The answer: not enough! Are they not enough because I want to live many more or maybe… Maybe it’s because I didn’t get the chance to live those that I could… Definitely… not enough! Not enough dips in the sea. Not enough cherries eaten! Not enough beetles caught… Not enough watermelon ...
My Mother's Mother
I’d had spent my week here at grandma’s house with the same routine. Eat. Feed the chickens and their cute baby chicks. Watch her feed the mother cow. Go home. Do my thing.

Though it’s not the same, at least they’re technically alive. They’re better than my family. Shouts, screams, the loud bangs that became a disturbing tune was constantly on repeat. Only my army gave me peace. The sun enhanced their armor in bold shades of green. Some layers of their armor were flat, others were spiky like needles. Some began to evolve into yellow and orange. Winter was alway...
A Return Trip to the Circus
I cannot believe the experience I just had. People will think I am crazy if I share the story with them. I was taking a walk in in the empty field just north of the city. I was feeling kind of sleepy, had been for days. I thought that an aggressive walk might wake me up. But I only got more tired, so much so that I had to sit onwww.onedoor.cc the rarely used park bench at the entrance to the empty field. In very little time I went into a state that I first believed was deep in sleep. But when I ‘awoke’ I was not in an empty field any longer. I was standing at the entrance to what looked like some kind of c...
