Description
A little girl silently stood in the middle of a grassy plane. The grass was tall and dry a few yellow flowers scattered here and there like salt and pepper. She lightly held onto a red balloon and watched it intently as it battled the wind. The little girl wanted the balloon to take her to heaven. She was lonely being the only one surrounded by nothing but grass and flowers, but something was holding her back.

Two large and bulky silver chains snaked themselves around her petit ankles, preventing her from visiting the stars above. They were like one thousand little fireflies lighting up the world below.

For a while she just stood there and thought, but then her thoughts became dreams. And as she dreamed the red balloon got bigger. And the shackles that once held her ankles in a vengeful grip were diminishing. The more she dreamed of her little heaven the closer it got until finally, she was floating.

No more chains, just dreams and stars and “Lucia what are you writing?” The teenage girl looked up to the tall lanky man that loomed over her. “Nothing Mr Norman…” She muttered.
