Llwyn Hazel
I:
It takes me a while to reorient myself.
I sat up in the middle of a meadow. The bright yellows and greens popped out like a Van Gogh painting. I rubbed the back of my head as I squinted.
Where am I?
I tried to think back to what I was doing before. I got home, set down my things, and then…
I frowned as I tried to remember the next sequence of events. My eyes trailed out to see the grass waving in the gentle breeze.
Wait… I know this place. I know where I am. Took me long enough to remember again. Okay, that is solved. Now, how do I get to Felicity? I rubbed the back of my head again.
Nothing around me looked familiar. I mean, I knew where I was but I didn’t at the same time. I just ended up in a different spot than I’m used to.
My mind ran circles around the basic facts. I ended up back in Meadowlark again. It’s spring here, just like out there. I knew that because my little lambs came back from their spring break. I want to say it’s Friday but I am doubting that it would apply in this situation. I shut my eyes and rubbed the bridge of my nose. Okay, I’m overthinking this. First thing I needed was to get into town and figure out what comes next.
I wished that I could spot something familiar in this meadow that could tell me how close or far away from Felicity.
I paused when I had the feeling of someone watching me. I could see a child standing--- no, they looked crouched down and looking at me. Despite the tall grass in the way, I could make out a little bit of the face.
“Cole?”
