Memorial
An aura of heavy soot pressed against me. Did I just go for a swim? Or am I just sweating that much? Eyes unable to open, I felt my limp body sag against a cold wall. The experience was lucid; unable to control my own body for the only sense I could remotely interact with was sound. As I sat there, slouched, I never considered that for the time I was awake, my ears rang with the voices of my friends as if it were background music. As I searched for sounds over the muffled giggles, I would occasionally hear something that resembled crickets chirping in an extremely low tone. A tone so horrifyingly irritating but also reminiscent of my mother's countryside house.

Turbulence
The late spring sun was seeping through the thick foliage of the tall elms. Despite the early morning hours, the park was filling up quickly. A typical Thursday in May. The exhausted cry of a baby from afar, the happy barking of a dog, mingled with the firm chirping of a warbler. Or was it a flycatcher? She honestly had no idea. But it sounded good. It blended well with the empty echo of her own thoughts. Unexpectedly calm. On a day that was setting out to be quite frenetic, she felt like an unconcerned passenger, ready to spend a 24h journey observing her surroundings, peeking into other people’s lives, and guessing who they might be, what they might be doing, where they might be going. The air was drenched with the soft and sharp smell of grass, heightened by the gentle breeze that made it ok to wear a light sweater, despite the season being already unreasonably warm. She lay flat on her belly resting the cheek on her folded hands, a thin layer of cotton the sole barrier between her still body and the fertile, vibrant ground beneath her. She could sense the energy. She could envision the possibilities. There was nowhere she had to be. Nothing she had to do. She breathed in through her nose. She had forgotten what that felt like. Today was different. She was different.
