Old Folk Story Time



It was a very, very nice day out in the town of Richmond Virginia. The sun was shining the sky was a wonderful blue, there was a small little breeze in the air which made for the perfect day. Young little Ronald Cooper was a boy who loved to play outside. Today was just the day he was looking for as it had been rainy the past couple days. He had to hurry thought because church was starting soon so he made sure he got up early. It was summer so there was no school and he wanted to play as much as he could. So today as Ronald was running out in the field he saw something in the distance he never had noticed before. Being a curious little rascal he ran over there just to come up to tree. Although this tree has apples on it yummy fresh looking apples. It was also very low to the ground right there for him to pick one so he did. He took a big bite out of it and enjoyed himself a nice ripe apple. When he was done he got up although everything around him had changed like he was in a new universe. There was no field, no cattle, no anything, there was nothing from the life he knew. He was on another planet in his mind. With no idea what to do, he ran around seeing all these weird creatures although they were friendly. He actually enjoyed being here in this random world. It was a nice society and the creatures were friendly so there was no reason to leave. The sky was a dark blue purple color and just a bunch of square and very tall buildings. After all this exploring he picked up a piece of the red grass all around but was very tired and next thing he knew he had fallen asleep. He woke up to his older brother telling him to wake up he was going to be late for church. Everything was normal like nothing had happened although in his hand was that little thin piece of red grass.

  1. I like your title! :) And for whatever reason it's interesting to consider someone from this era being on "another planet in his mind." And I like the twist of him holding the glass in his hand when he wakes up.
