“How can this be. I’m not the type of person that can see into the future. It’s just….” I ran on and on. Everybody just starred, this is unbelievable I thought to myself. Slowly I started to back-up think to myself of all the wonders this power could have. Before I finished my train of thought, I tripped over a floor board and the rest was a blur. When I final woke up the area around me was different. It seemed unclear to me what was going on.
“Mom!” I shouted.
There was no response, the room seemed dead. This room wasn’t even a room I was used to, it was different. From the looks of it this room seemed liked a child’s room I had once babysat for. How did I get here when I was all the way at home? Again confusion was thrown in the mix of chaos. This couldn’t be what it seemed like; to me this seemed like everybody was gone. Although my mom just wouldn’t leave me? Would she? All of this was confusing to me, until my mother came running into the room panicking.
“Grab your bag, were leaving again. This area isn’t safe!” Hurry up!” She shouted with a tone of madness mixed in her voice.
I jumped up and grabbed my bag of clothes, which I hadn’t even remembered bringing with me. Now that I had jumped up I realized this was a hotel room. We had been here once before, when we visited my father. But this place was one of the safest places I had come to remember. As a child because of my father’s work, me and my mother often would travel with my dad. But once school had came along, I couldn’t travel with my family. Over a series of episodes, I was left with nannies, and distant family members. Now it was summer and the meadows were blooming, this was the only time I could spend with my family. But now our life’s were in danger and we were once again separated. This time how would we be reunited?
Time went by and again me and my mother were on the road, but the only different, my father wasn’t with us. I had felt like I was alone in my life again. Just like when he and my mom “needed a vacation” from each other. But for some reason this was different. Now that I felt alone nothing else mattered, my dad was my best friend. Even though my mom was still there. It kind of felt like she was really never there. Traveling from one place to another everyday became tiring and boring. It could have been more exciting, maybe if a father figure of some sort could have been tagging along. Instead of a father figure, I had family members.
After 3 months of moving everywhere without a father figure got tiring. Things started to take a turn for the better. The phone lines were back up, the same with heat, lights and water. Even the roads were getting fixed and house being rebuilt. My dad was even able to get in contact with me and take me to his new house. He had everything working there, it was life was normal. The only exceptions were my parents. They talked but my father was getting remarried. And even though it killed me, he was happy. That’s really all that mattered. His new wife to be Clara was sweet, and she liked to help people recover from the Earth’s “Crazy” day. We often went for walks, up to the nature reserve, and helped the animals recover. Today we went for a walk on the Nature preserve, we hiked for 3 miles until we reached a valley on the side of the mountain.
There was a large meadow, me and Clara walked to the center. There we were standing in the meadow, starring at the colorful rainbow. Flowers, of all colors, blue, purple, yellow, orange, blue, green, pink even the colors in between. I starred closely at the tree’s, blowing like crazy; ballet dancers dancing to the nut cracker resembled the tree’s. Everything here was magical, unlike anything ever known. We walked through the meadow and laid down slowly, wishing that all the problems in my life were like this meadow. Peaceful and simple.
