✨What if?✨ (A microstory.)
We're so high that the railroad below is a miniature toy train set.
“We stay together", Ellie affirms, squeezing my hand.
But I'm afraid. My soul drops as the dragon screeches. The beast is prehistoric, modern-day, and futuristic... all at once. Life has become a video game.
Ellie hugs me. We’re still grasping hands. It's over.
"Search for me," she says, kissing my forehead.
"I won't recognize you!"
"You will."
We jump.
Silence; except for heartbeats:
ker-thud…ker-thud….ker-thud...
I wake up on a train. What level is this?
I don't know the strange child beside me. But somehow, I do.
"Ellie?"

"My tears need a minute to find the edges of my face. If you'll please excuse me." The sarcasm stabbed into Juliana’s heart. Antonia glared at her from the pit of the Lyceum as her student fought to hold back tears that had nothing to do with the pain in her fingers. “You’re better than this, again.”

Once upon a time
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a small village nestled in the heart of a dense forest. The village was known as "Snickerdoodle," and it was a place where magic, mystery, and mayhem came together in a delightful and hilarious blend.

This was something else. Whenever You branch off into a different genre of fiction, Gina, You always manage to crush it. The "ker-thud"s scared me, though.
Bravo, Gina! Congrats too!
