WILL IT GO WRONG
AGAIN?
Małgorzata Walaszczyk :)
Eight year old Lily was lying on a field. Sun shining, a beautiful July afternoon.
Flowers around her blooming, birds flying above, wind whistling. Her eyes taking all
the scenery, a big cheerful smile present on her face.
Footsteps? Her tiny face turns to the way where the sounds were coming from.
- Mommy! – She immediately got up running to her mom to hug her. The mother
looked down at her with those weirdly soulless eyes. She grabbed her daughter’s
hand without saying a word and started walking. Little Lily happily followed.
- Where are we going mommy? – She asked jumping, looking around. Her mother
didn’t say a word but she was sure they were going somewhere fun. As they passed
their house Lily got even more excited.
- We’re going on an adventure! Adventure! Adventure! – She jumped up and down her
eyes still wandering around admiring the mountains ahead. She wanted to chase
every butterfly she saw on their way, but she knew to obey her mother.
Soon they got to the village. She’s never been there before but mom always
brought her candy when she went to the store there. It wasn’t anything special, few
wooden houses and a bigger store. All surrounded by enormous fields with animals
eating the fresh grass. So pretty. Lily was waving to every farmer and villager that
they passed.
- You have such beautiful blond hair kiddo.- A woman came up to them expecting the
mother to stop and talk, but since they kept walking she tagged along them. – So
kiddo where is your mother headed?
- We’re on an adventure! Going somewhere fun.- Lily answered happily.
The woman grew suspicious, glancing at the mother’s lost expression and the
soulless eyes.
-How old is your daughter? – She asked. No response. Weird.
Of course the woman had better things to do so she just gave the girl a little smile
and left them alone.
