It Was To Be Expected
The shock of the fall was still on Mother‘s face when I found her at the bottom of the stairs. If only she had been plucked discretely by the Reaper, with no knowledge of the end—not that losing her would have been any easier; just that, perhaps, my skin would have crawled a little bit less. She lied limp on the expensive Italian marble floor. Her eyes—blue like the lagoons on our last trip to Tahiti—were open, looking up as if searching for a way out. I pulled down the hem of her night robe to preserve her dignity. This one was her favorite, white with dark blue lilies—her family’s beloved fleur de lys.

Where Are You Taking Me?
Here we are at the County Fair! While walking along the midway I see this girl and the cutest little dog she's carrying. I go over and ask why are carrying your pal. She says, "I forgot the leash, but I had this snuggly in the car. Glad she is a small dog." We decided to walk together down the midway and we all got some ice cream, and the dog loved it for it was vanilla. We played some of the games and I won a stuffed dog that kind of looked like her dog she claimed the toy.

You Are Convenient
"Oh, my dear, I've never met anyone like you before in my life. No one I've ever been with compares to you. It took me two hundred tries, but finally, I have found 'the one,' and she is you," Joe whispers into her hair, as he scans the room behind her, looking for something better.

The Drive to Your Parents' House
As I lay amidst the wreckage, looking towards the love of my life, I wondered what had gone wrong, that we had ended so swiftly. With my hands on the wheel. I'm sure they are my hands. One would know their own hands, wouldn't one? The scent of fresh grass cuttings, hot rubber from the tyres and petrol, blood, sweat and the bergamot and orange blossom of your Gucci Bamboo fill my lungs.

Plastic is terrible for us 😨
Please like and Rating my content Plastic has significant negative impacts on the environment, human health, and wildlife. It takes hundreds of years to decompose, accumulating in landfills and oceans. Over time, plastic breaks down into microplastics, contaminating soil, water, and air. Millions of tons of plastic waste end up in the ocean each year, creating "garbage patches" and harming marine life. Animals often mistake plastic for food, leading to ingestion that can cause choking, starvation, or poisoning. Entanglement in plastic waste can injure or kill wildlife.
