Flower Castle

Flower Castle

It was mid summer. The field across our driveway was thick with golden rod. One day i waded out into the ocean of tangled grass. A few meters into the tangles of gold and green  I located  a dear bed. Thats when the vision came to me.

I said to mackie “Lets make a house”  and flopped down.

So we began to push down the stocky plants. Twisting them together we created tunnels. We each had our own room. Together we created the family room, kitchen, and playroom.  

We played until we got hungry then went inside to get lunch. However even food could not keep us from our play house. we sat in our golden rod kitchen eating. after bringing our dishes inside we ran back out to make more rooms and tunnels.

that night we went to bed in our comfy rooms inside our real house. but we awoke to something disturbing...  we were covered from head to toe with chiggers…

for the next few days clothing felt like torture. we spent the next couple of days lying striped between cotton sheets on the couch bed watching VHS tapes over and over...
