Alright, so I'm just trying to clean up the last of the Rocky Road... Anyone know what I might do with a basement?
Cherry on both for, well, just about everything - present tense, 1st person, stream of consciousness drabble thingies...
Apple Trees. Apple trees and more apple trees. There’s a stream that cuts through it, a winding little thing, not deep enough to swim in, but with frogs and dragonflies. And past that? More apple trees. What could anyone ever want with so many apples?
The house is quiet. Not like Grandmother’s, where there are so many people around, watching what you’re doing and making sure it’s never any fun. Here it’s just me and Aunt Kari, and I can do most anything and no one will see. But what is there to do with a bunch of apple trees?

There’s a streetlamp outside my window. You’d think it would make it harder to sleep, but somehow it makes the fact that there is a window at all that much less unsettling.
The noises took some getting used to. They always do. This time it’s the tavern below. The door swinging all night. Boots in the alley and voices in the air. Fights that spill out into the street. Then Uncle Kairn closes the window and tries to pretend it’s the weather he’s keeping out.
One of these times we’ll find home, but I’d rather this one not be it.
