James' Bedtime Story
The following is a short little story/poem written for the character "James" in my current literary project In This House We Lived and We Died...
James' Lullaby
"Once there was a little seed named Sandy who lived on a beach next to a turtle named Mandy. She knew not she was a seed, because she fell from a weed and was blown onto a beach that was dandy.
She grew up believing she was a grain of sand, which all things considered, she thought was kind of grand. Until one day it rained and her life suddenly became less bland. As the other sand rocks saw, she sprouted green frolics by law, and soon she became stuck in the land.
As time wore on and Sandy grew older, her old sandy rock friends grew less fond of her; some even grew colder. They saw what she really was, and despite Mandy's good-natured shell-top fuzz, all the sand rocks stood up and nulled her.
As chance would sometimes fame, one day a great tsunami came. The sandy rocks howled and fled and lost their poor lives and soon all fell dead. But there Sandy stood, next to Mandy as always she would, and the two of them lived forever and ever, ever without dread."
