Grandpa

"You're in a grassy field. There are a few flowers, but mostly grass. It's completely flat. You look up and see the sun, bright and dizzying. As you stare at the sun you notice something falling. It comes closer and you realize it's a snake with a giant head; circling down toward you. As it falls closer it opens it mouth wide to eat you. "What's going on? What are you doing?" You ask the great snake and it replies "I am your mother." Just then you see her. "I am here to guide you and protect you from all the bad that hails from this land." You look up again from where the snake had fallen from and you see the sun is on it's way to meet the earth. A strange light sings to you from the gap that is left between the sun and earth. A melody so sweet and mysterious. You walk toward the light but as you walk it retracts, slowly. You begin to walk faster and faster and faster until you are running. The light retracts faster and faster and faster until it is completely fleeting. There is no more soft grass underneath you, only coarse, rough sand. As you begin to perspire the desert twilight haunts you. Your paranoia increase as you gasp for air. The cacti are plotting against you, so are the mice and tumble weeds. Night grows and the stars show their light off to you, teasing you. As the sun sinks into the distant earth you begin to cry. The light you chased after remains in your thoughts and you are left with nothing. You curse the sun and the earth, the night and the mother. You curse the teasing light of the stars and plotting tumble weeds. You fall to your knees, crying. Then you look down to see the most beautiful, simple thing. beyond words and imagination it is there - for you."
