The Last Walk
I stand in a room unfamiliar to me, it is very cloudy I feel. I can not make sense of the shapes. My grandfather stands before me, Baxter. I remember he has recently passed, and this is still true to me. I convince myself that his soul has somehow re-entered his body with new vigor, a straight back and wearing his grey suit. This confuses me though; I swear we buried his ashes.

Eulogy of a Dream
I was standing in my Grandmother's kitchen, my Fatherās Mother. It was as it normally is; bright and welcoming. A glossy white oven ebbed with warmth. Natural daylight seeped in through the windows that were thoughtfully placed on either side. The house itself was built by my grandfather; his hands rough, built a place so soft; a home. I hadnāt thought much of my sudden presence there. I had no notion that this was merely a dream... yet.

The Waitress
Seated there, somewhere, on a corner expecting good things to happen. I followed her for a lifetime. I saw her first steps, knew her first thoughts, saw her dancing for the first time, I was here when she first fell in love, I saw her crying for the first time, was here when she discovered anger, I saw her experiencing fear for the first time, I knew her first wish, and I knew what she dreamed about every millisecond of her life. I knew her. She waited for bad things to change into good for herself. She desperately waited for hope, for things to happen, while she sat there thinking about the things she could do to make life easier for herself and others. She waited and waited.

I want to be found
Leaves were starting to dwindle into a yellow brown color and the reminiscence of summer began to unravel in my memories. As the leaves fell to the ground and the air became so cold I had to double wrap myself in my knitted light blue blanket. It was the only extremely soft and warm blanket I had for fall. Although fall had begun. I can still smell the sunscreen on my face melting into my skin. I could see the stage I was on, dreaming of the actress I could become.
