January Post - Taylor Hatch

      Green and blue. Different shades of green and blue. All swirling around like the water at the edge of a waterfall. It's the strangest thing with gold flecks swirling around the edge kind of like wheat on a windy day. White bubbles collect in spots on the edges like bubbles in a sink. I turn away from the pond and find myself looking into a forest. The forest looks like something you might see on Winnie the Pooh in the Hundred Acre Woods. The grass is bright green and looks like the softest thing ever and I find myself wanting to lay down in it. Something about this place is just so mesmerizing. I lift my head up to look at the sky. I'd guess it's about noon by the position of the sun. I turn my head back towards the forest and start walking on a slim dirt path that looks like it is used every once in a while. After walking for about a half mile, I find myself in a field that has grass that's about three and a half feet tall. I look around and I'd say that the field is about an acre wide, and it's surrounded by beautiful bright green, orange, and red trees. I sit down right in the center of the field and stare at my Vans. I reach out to dust them off when I hear some faint voices.
      There's laughter, playful yelling, and conversations. I stand up and start slowly walking towards the voices. They're in the trees, I realize. I stop a moment and hesitate, debating whether I should leave the field and risk getting lost or staying in the field which is getting kind of boring. I make my decision and start walking through the trees. Twenty meters, turn to the right, forty meters, stop, look around, keep going, thirty more meters, and watch out for that giant tree, this is hopeless. Sighing, I sit down against the tree and close my eyes. The voices are barely a whisper now, but strangely I can understand what they are saying. I look up expecting to see nothing but tree but instead I see wood. A tree house! It looks old so I'm guessing no one uses it anymore. I pull a cute blue travel size mirror out of the black, blue and white backpack I have on my shoulder. Looking into my mirror, I see my ugly, not too dark, but not light, blond hair, my light blue eyes with dark blue around them, and my dark pink chapped lips. I reach back into my bag and pull out an EOS Chapstick. After putting the mirror and Chapstick back into my bag, I stand up and start walking around the tree.
     The tree was way larger than I realized, it was probably twelve feet around. There! I see a ladder and walk toward it, once I reach it, I start climbing up. It only takes me a few seconds to get to the top, but it seems like an eternity since my legs are so sore from walking so much. Once I get to the top, I fall into the house and just lay there. After about five minutes I start nodding off. I wake up due to the big crashes of thunder outside and can't remember my dream, or if I even had one. I stand up and see that it's pouring outside. Oh! It's not good to be in trees when there's lightning. I grab my backpack and hurry down the ladder. Ugh, I'm going to get soaked now! I start walking down the path again and remember that there were people here! Maybe I can find them and ask for help! I don't even know how I got here. I think I just kind of appeared here...  Oops! I tripped over nothing. Wow. Real smart Taylor, real smart. I stand back up and brush off the dirt that collected on my hands and knees. After walking a bit more, I decide to stop and rest. It stopped raining but it's probably going to rain again. So, I find a comfortable spot by a tree and just sit there. Boring. I get up and start walking again, and find that the path ends after a while. I kind of stand there for a minute but decide to follow the path back out, I'm not going to find any help. Once I turn around, I see a lady with beautiful, long, almost white blond hair and bright blue eyes and a gorgeous long white dress. "Hello Taylor."


I don't know if I' going to continue this, I've been working on it since like October but it doesn't really seem very good to me. I'm also still working on a title, so it just says January Post. Should I keep writing this???? I hope you like it!
