Shed

from times long forgotten. Only the very top of the tree, soaring high above the earth, stubbornly held on to no more than three or four small leaves blowing in the warm, lazy breeze. I picked my way awkwardly down the steep hill. My knees bent and legs tense with heavy footsteps trying to avoid falling and rolling down the hill into a tree. I made my way between the tall brush pile that was anxiously waiting for a nice summer day for my mom and I to find the time to set it ablaze. Then there was the old shed.

Only the smallest patches of sunlight made it past the roof leaves of the sprawling mulberry tree’s boughs, heavily laden with tart, juicy berries perfect for muffins, pies, pancakes, or just plain eating. This tree was one of my favorite and most memorable places in the back yard; a trunk rose from the ground at a slight angle, low on the base was an item that was not naturally…

Dirty place, trash, backyard house, uselessness, deserted?

I didn’t dare speak a word, neither did I dare to shed a tear; I knew that I had to stay strong for her. My head was flooding with thoughts; some were about my father’s condition, others were about how lazy I have been around the house. It was time about time I changed. We arrived at the Hospital’s emergency exit, as soon as the automatic doors slide open; the chill in the air sent goosebumps throughout my back, or it might have been the sight of my father’s watch, it was sitting in a basket…

June 14, on a hot summer day while I was messing around inside of my grandparents tool shed. I was super bored, and had nothing left to do, I had already played three games of chess that day with my grandpa. Looking around, I found some weird gadget that looked like a really old gun with a ton of dust on it, I knew I shouldn’t have messed with it.

Reading this article motivates me to assure that no matter how tired I get, or how mundane work gets to not let the treatment I give be only focused on efficiency. One think I…
