I am writing alot lately. This one that I am working on. It isnt very good but here it is the first paragraph:

The Dragon Fly

In a grocery store on a rack hangs a wind chime with no special meaning, it is just a chime. It has a sticker on it stating that is now “only $1.47”. I just happened to pass by it and stop. I looked at it with a critical eye as I am known for doing. It was a pale yellow with a dragon fly and four silver chimes hanging from fishing line. I picked it up and the chimes swayed back and forth producing a sound that put me at ease. It put a vivid picture in my head. I was sitting on the porch in a huge white porch swing just when the sun was setting in the horizon. It was in the middle of the summer and the air was stagnating. The only way I knew there was a breeze was the sound of the chimes hanging on the side of the porch. I stared up at them and watched them ricocheting off of one another. In that porch swing I fell asleep. The moment I fell asleep I was awoken by a random customer who had bumped into me with their cart. With no hesitation I took the wind chime with me. There was something about it that I just wanted to have around me.
