Life in the Fast Lane
I'm standing in place and I'm watching my whole life fly by.
One moment and I am with my mom, sitting on the floor of the living room on my 6th birthday. Next thing I know and I am 9, moving into my new home- a new addition to create a family. I knew that at this speed my life would come to an end much too quickly. I blink and suddenly it's my 16th birthday, surrounded by family and friends. One blink more and I am 27, getting ready to have my first child. Suddenly im 50, preparing myself to be a grandparent. Desparately, I try to hold my eyes open, trying to take hold of the moment. In the distance I see a white casket, with large, colorful boquets and people all around. I try to run the opposite direction,
but it just keeps getting closer and closer.
Very interesting! I bet you could expand this idea into a short story or even a book...
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting to write! A lot of it was past experiences, and I even considered maybe writing a short story. I just dont know where I would go with it. A good thing to think about!
