So, I guess I'll start using this tumblr. Here's a sneak peek at a one shot I'm working on, called "Bloomberg." It's a first person POV in a Forrest Gump style narrative. Enjoy!
Mama always told me I were a special tree.
Not just ācause I were an apple tree neither. No sir. There were many other apple trees āround me when I grew up. But Mama kept tellinā me that one day Iād be special. I liked it when she told me that. There were only one other thing I liked more than Mamaās nice words; her stories. All about trees before me that grew up like I would, and how they got big and strong and made her family proud.
That was a lot to take in when I were little, ācause I didnāt think I could be all that. I donāt āmember much from when I were little, but I do āmember I was a small, skinny little apple tree. I wasnāt even big enough to be in the ground when Mama found me. There were some sort of tradition she had ta do, somethinā ābout pickinā a tree to perform some special Apple family tradition. I werenāt real keen on the details, but I didnāt much care back then. When Mama picked me, I thought I were goinā to heaven itself.
Well, I didnāt really know what heaven was until Mama told me ābout it. I didnāt really understand at first, but she told me about her mama and papa and how they were up in heaven with the angel ponies, and how much she missed them a lot but her granny told her they were in a better place. She cried that first night I were with her. I couldnāt do nuthinā for her, so I just sat there, in my little pot, keepinā her company.
