The Emerald Talisman
“. .
13 – YEARNING I woke up to a beautiful Saturday morning and found I’d slept soundly the whole night through. The sweet aroma of freshly brewed coffee drifted under my door and I heard pots clanging in the kitchen.
The light of the bathroom hurt my eyes as I examined the puffy marshmallows that were my eyelids. I slathered them with special cream and hoped Dad wouldn’t notice.
I threw on my favorite tattered robe and bunny slippers and scuffed down the stairs to the kitchen.

“That good,” Dad said as he continued voraciously dicing zucchini, onions and broccoli into slivers.
Within seconds, the veggies hit the wok with a sizzle and filled the room with a mouthwatering garlic aroma.MoreLess
