 Cascada (Part 7)

The next morning Cascada wakes up and makes her way back to the main living area of Laura’s home. After not seeing Laura there, she quietly walks around the house. Behind a shut door she hears faint breathing, ‘She must be asleep in there,’ Cascada determines.

When she walks back to the living room she is stunned by a bright light. As the light fades Cascada sees in front of her a woman with a flowy silver dress and purple hair. 

“Highest Leader, what are you doing here?” Cascada says as she bows, “What am I doing here?”

“Respectable Subject, I am sorry for all the confusion but it was necessary for our little experiment.”

“Experiment? What experiment?”

“We have been scoping out this earth for quite some time now, figuring out if we wanted to establish contact or not. From our ships we could not determine what the beings of this planet were like as they were all so diverse. We needed to send someone down to see what it was really like to interact with these humans.”

“Why me? Why couldn’t I have been told about it?” Cascada angrily asks.

“Well we wanted to test their kindness and compassion for the more vulnerable. Sending you here like we did, let you be about as vulnerable as you could be. From what we saw there was much war on this planet, and we needed to see if there was a more peaceful side to them.”

Cascada’s blood begins to boil, “So you chose a random Hyjan citizen, ME, and transported me here with no warning, even though it was potentially dangerous or even deadly?!”

“There will be a great reward for you back on Hyja! You shall be promoted from Respectable to Precious, and there shall be many other fortunes to come to you,” the woman responds, not acknowledging her wrongdoing.

A yawn is heard down the hall as a groggy Laura walks down in her robe. “What’s going on?” she sleepily asks.

The Highest Leader looks to Cascada and quietly asks, “Have you told her the truth about yourself?”

“Is this another Hyjan?” Laura asks.

Cascada grows worried, “Ummm…”

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...
