Passing Friends
By Ashlee MacCallum Word Count: 150 There was a young fairy who lived in a flower. And on the first day of Spring, she awoke from her slumber. A sleepy snail was digging a hole when the fairy said, “Dear friend, stay for spring.” He replied, “I must hibernate. Instead, tell me about your season.” She said, “It’s the kind of pitter patter that beats like a drum, Belting the song of spring as the earth is sprinkled with rain. It’s the collection of color, rising and growing anew, Stretching into a different season as flowers surge from the dirt below. It’s the lush hills that are reborn, rolling as far as the eye can see, Providing a space for tiny feet to roam and explore. There was a sleepy snail who lived in a hole. And on the first day of spring, he fell into a slumber… while thoughts of spring danced through his dreams.
