7/3/22 The Dice Story (Part 2)

 The Dice Story (Part 2)

The girls' flight left in just over an hour, and they were still stuck in the long line of traffic, waiting for the turtle to be moved. Every minute made them more and more nervous that they would miss their flight. All their planning, to go relax on the beaches of Hawaii, would be gone.

“Hawaii must not want us so they sent a turtle to keep us away,” Hannah said trying to lighten the mood for both of them.

Sasha laughed, “I guess so, hopefu-” she was cut off by a loud horn. The two girls looked behind them and saw cars shifting out of the way, letting a large white truck pass on the shoulder.

“Finally, that must be animal control!” Hannah said excitedly.

“I guess Hawaii does want us after all.”

The girls' wait was now filled with hope, knowing that they should be moving any second now. After a few minutes, animal control had safely moved the turtle and cleared up the ramp. The cars quickly started moving, all trying to rush to the airport. Hannah followed along, as quick as she could without crashing into the car in front of them.

They drove into the parking garage and managed to find a spot pretty quickly. The two girls hurriedly grabbed their bags, locked up the car, and started speedwalking into the airport.

“Hawaii here we come,” Sasha said happily as they made it inside. Her joy was stopped however when they hit security. Because of the turtle backup, all those people in all those cars were now going through security all at the same time. 

“It’s alright, we got this, we still have forty-five minutes before our flight leaves. I’m sure the airport knows about the turtle incident so if some people are a little late, they should understand,” Hannah said, reassuring Sasha and mostly herself.

After the tedious wait in line, the scanning of the bags and themselves, the two girls now had a mere fifteen minutes before their flight left. They could hear their names announced over the speaker as they ran towards their gate. 

With five minutes to spare, the two girls got to the check in desk and explained their situation to the attendant. She was very kind, scanned the girls tickets, and down the tunnel they went, on their way to their nice relaxing trip in Hawaii.

8/26/22 Musical Footsteps

  Musical Footsteps One day as he walked, a musical note began to play. With each step a new note, always complimenting the one before. There was no piano, just his stride, creating a beautiful melody for all to hear. He didn’t know why the music played, but he enjoyed it nonetheless. It sounded so familiar to him, but he could never quite place where he had heard it before. When passersby would ask what song it was, he would simply tell them it was the song from his heart. The song never repeated itself, it was one long continuous melody, the never-ending song. He could never predict what it would be like, everyday was a mystery, one he enjoyed solving. As he walked and found the current rhythm of the song, he would time his footsteps as best he could to make it sound nice. That was all the control he had, tempo. Sometimes he would jump in the air, and as he landed two notes came together as a chord. Continuous jumping, although tiring, made the song even better. At firs...

11/26/22 The Girl in the Horse Painting

  The Girl in the Horse Painting “Oh man have you seen that one painting, the one with the horse, on that blue background.” “Yeah! Oh my gosh that painting is so good. I’m actually looking to get a print of it to hang in my house.” “That would look so good in your living room, or anywhere really.” “I know, it’s such a good painting it could go anywhere really and make the room better!” “Have you ever noticed the girl in the background? I never had until someone pointed it out to me and then I couldn’t stop looking at her.” “There is a girl in the background?” “I know right. I was shocked too, but yeah, there is. When you get that print you’ll have to look for her.” “I guess I will. Wow, that's amazing. I’ve looked at that painting a thousand times and never even noticed the girl. You think the artist intended it to be that way?” “He must have. I’m sure he did it for this very reason, for people to be astounded by the fact they never saw the girl.” “Goes to show ...

4/24/22 Carried by the Breeze

  Carried by the Breeze She stood in the breeze, arms stretched out wide. “Take me away,” she said, and the wind complied with her request. It picked her up off the earth and carried her through the sky and clouds.  Although a wondrous view passed by below her, she just closed her eyes and floated with the wind. The sight could be replicated but this feeling would never be again. She did nothing but float, feeling the breeze run through her hair, trying to capture it in her hands. Hours went by and she enjoyed every moment, but the chill of the sky began to wear into her, she was ready to go down. The wind however had different plans, it was not ready to let her go. Her assumption of being a friend to the wind changed as she realized she was prisoner to it. Struggling against air, she tried to point herself downwards and break free. Her thoughts were not on the fall, only of wanting to be free.  After fighting and struggling as hard as she could, the air became im...
