Magical Realism
Chick or Child?
A little blue strip on the home pregnancy test indicated that Gisele Claughton would not be with child. Her black diamond skin seemed to glisten with perspiration. Her locks looked like strands of DNA. With the idea of allowing her body to be taut and limber from years as a ballerina and gymnast, she wondered what it would be like to have a bulbous belly. She slumped against the sink in her bathroom. The heated floors kept her backside warm on this December day. With her head towards the ceiling, a single tear fell from her eye. By brushing it away, she cast off any sense of not trying and to keep on until she could have a baby.

The building remained on the lot empty, but the old oak trees surrounding it continue to stand and grow. Many locals would walk past the lot and look at the empty building and trees, possibly reminiscing about the history associated or their personal memories of having participated at the restaurant or casino. There were even homeless outcasts who considered the abandoned building and lot a safe, cozy park to rest at under the tall oaks that provided plenty of shade on a hot, sweaty Florida day.
