Eden
“I brushed leaves out of my tangled hair as I ducked into the bushes. It felt strange to have it so long, but I wasn’t sure why.
My feet were agile as I leapt over a fallen tree and crashed through the undergrowth. My pursuer continued to chase after me.
I analyzed the terrain before me, picking out the best path. My hesitation was too long though. The next second I was tackled to the ground.
All I saw after that was red and gleaming metal parts.
The dream haunted me as I joined the others... in the gardens the next afternoon. I’d never had that one before. Red.
There had been so much red.
“Set this in there, will you?” Sarah said as she extended a cucumber toward me. I grabbed it from her and set it in the basket at my feet.
The heat was getting intense, made all the worse by the clouds that were coming in. The air was heavy with humidity. I heard several people begging for it to rain.
With summer midway over, the garden was producing well. This was our second round of early harvesting. There was an abundance of squash, peas, beans, cucumbers, and other delicious vegetables. The kitchen crew had been busy canning the last week or so. Our new cellar was getting its shelves filled quickly.MoreLess
