September 9, 2015 Prompt: The little boy's
idea of heaven was
The little boy’s idea of heaven was being
covered in dirt in the backyard with his brother. Long summer days passed
without minutes or hours being tallied. Faces unscrubbed, and toes uncontained,
they fought dragons, built ships, trained bears, and commanded the weather.
When the sun made the sky orange, they
fought valiantly the efforts of their mother to feed and scrub them in
preparation of the most awful thing imaginable. Sleep.
But, the trick was on her after all, as
midnight hours passed with adventures continuing in the dim glow of the
nightlight.
She could never truly understand
brotherhood.
