A sore blister today is keeping me from writing much, so I'm reposting an, old, old story from earlier in the blog's times that you may not remember or have read. Enjoy!
Impossible Futures
There was once
a little girl that would have visions of certain futures. But only
impossible futures. Futures that were guaranteed to never come true.
She could tell they were visions because when they appeared in her
head it was like she was imagining something but the image sparkled
like she had put glitter on an old movie picture. She at first
thought she was just imagining things in an odd way but she learned
they were visions of the impossible when she had a series of visions
in a row while playing rock-paper-scissors with her older brother who
thought she was cheating somehow. (Her visions of impossible futures
told her what he wouldn't use so she won every time)
She got visions
of all kinds. She would get visions of them winning the lottery and
moving into a wonderful mansion. She saw herself getting an A on a
math test even though she was terrible at math. She got a vision of
their favorite TV celebrity visiting their home. She had a vision of
a wonderfully fun snowfall on a hot summer afternoon. The image of a
old-timey circus in her front lawn entered her mind one day. Another
time her favorite cartoon character talked to her in her room. Next
she saw herself going to a school where grades didn't matter and all
the classes were fun. On a boring day she had a vision of her getting
a cuddly pet dragon and naming it spot based on a bundle of red
scales among its other green ones.
Then one time
she had a vision who's sparkles were less like glitter and more like
sparks. She had this vision while she was playing with her dolls
after school on a Friday afternoon. The impossible future in this
vision was of her Dad returning home alive from his job as a fireman.
