Xion Caelum: A Short Story

Superior Essays
It was a warm summer day. The perfect weather for ice cream, Xion Caelum thought to herself. Then again, it was always perfect weather for ice cream. This time, she had an excuse to get it.

Settled on treating herself, Xion quickly gathered her things to prepare to leave; her Moogle shaped coin bag, her new Key 3 phone (already cracked from an accidental trip), and her keys.

Xion examined herself in the mirror; her coal black hair was messy and greasy, but she simply pulled it back in a ponytail. Dark circles were visible underneath her blue eyes. She didn’t care in the end. It would be a quick stop anyway.

Once she was home, Xion gave Noctis and Yuffie their things and stuck her ice cream in the freezer. She then went into her room and flopped onto her messy bed, ignoring the wiry mess of her tangled headphones and phone charger underneath her. She stared at her sparsely decorated walls, trying to lose herself in the familiar sight.

“Hm… sea salt ice cream, huh?” Xion said into her MeowWow shaped Dream Eater pillow. It had been tradition for Xion and her friends to spend their time after school sitting in the schools courtyard and have the unique treat. Those friends just felt like strangers now. They were a bunch of faces that Xion had thought she would never see again, until she saw Olette.

Of course, there were memories that she cherished, but they only caused a sinking cold feeling in her heart.

“BING!” Xion’s phone buzzed with a new notification. Groaning exasperatedly, Xion sat up and unlocked the screen.

Sure enough, Olette had sent her a message. It read, “Nice seeing you again Xion  Hope we can hang out soon! We all miss you ya know!

    Ben, Jerry, and Me An arctic chill crept across my spine in time with the goosebumps demarcating my excitement as I flung the doors open, eyes roving the fluorescent freezer until they finally landed upon my treasure: the Tonight Dough.

    Ted uses a lot of imagery in his free verse poem “Depression Glass” by using our five senses: see, touch, taste, feel, and hear. In line one, “It seemed those rose-pink dishes”, seems to be the main focus in this poem while they are used for special occasions, they still have an issue keeping something hot, “the plates like the panes of ice”. He used metaphors twice to compare the rose-pink dishes always being cold as ice and the cups’ inability to keep coffee or other beverages hot, “everyday mug would have kept/a splash hot for the better”. I take this as perhaps a regular mug would have been a better choice, but the hostess realized that it would have just clashed with the rest of the set like an eyesore.…
