The Bubbly Seahorse

Super Mom
Whenever our house got a little too rowdy, my mother would always smile and say that her only safe haven was in the bathroom. Then, she’d sneakily tiptoe upstairs without us noticing. It was the only door that locks in our house, so I figured it was her space to be free from two adventurous kids, a wacky husband, and an always hyperactive puppy. Until the day I followed her, and she forgot to lock the door. When I slowly twisted the knob, I saw a lair full of excitement and a powerful woman fully covered in gold.

Mirror
Lu looked in the mirror and blinked. Her future self sometimes would appear and tell her things. It started when she was five years old. “Mom, I just saw myself. My future self. She told me what will happen!” “That’s great Lu, what did she say?” “She said I was going to be a princess!” “Wow, a princess, you are one lucky girl. Now go to sleep sweetie, princesses need their rest.” “Ok mom. I love you.” Lu grabbed her favorite blankie and ran off to her room. Her mother took a quick sip of wine, “Love you too baby” she replied softly as she sank down into the couch, “love you too” her mom whispered again as she fell off to sleep.
