    I Had a Perfect Dream

    While the fire crackled and the wind tossed ice pellets against the window, I wrapped up in a bright blue shawl decorated with dolphins and dreamed a perfect dream. Snow flakes turned into a magic carpet. I rode a glittering Milky Way to a land of palm trees and beaches draped in gold and black sand. Sigh. I’m going to have to make this dream come true.

    Losing Mikey

    Going down by n0nick on Flickr – Photo Sharing! Death came out of nowhere, grief arcing across a bright blue autumn sky.Your mother rocks in her chair, empty-armed, shattered.Your father tightens doorknobs, oils hinges, mends tools, fixes every broken thing he can find.It’s like watching a stunt plane in a spiraling dive, bracing for a crash.I steal the faucet washers. ~Nara Malone This post was written for G-Man’s Friday Flash 55.
