Short story - Back in timeA Chapter by Ama May CooperWritten at 10 Around christmas time, after someone broke one of my snowmen =]
The spirit dragged me slowly away from 2004, and dumped me in a blanket of crisp white, that crunched beneath my feet. I'd seen it somewhere before about a year ago.
I looked into the distance and saw children, lots of children, screaming and running far away. One of the children stopped playing and turned to look at a winter statue built of white ice. I knew that kid, there was something about her, something was strange about this child, she was like a drifting memory long forgotten. Then it struck me like a cannon ball it was me about to destroy a little boys prize. "Stop" I bellowed running towards her, either she wasn't listening or she didn't care! "Please stop" I called to the spirit "Can i stop this?" The spirt looked at me with eyes like puppy dogs, I new I couldn't , my young self was a menace, a destroyer ready to strike. I breathed in, the air was oddly fresh and clean, the sky was oddly dark and gentle raindrops fell from the air, white raindrops. My young self reached forward to stroke its enemy, remembered the feeling of icy cold, the feeling of jealousy that i was weaker than this snow god, a defenseless being, so i watched my young self, or was it still me, the me i am now, have i changed from the ice beast? The jealousy built up inside her, her eyes might of turned red but instead she lunged. "Why?" I shouted as the snowy balls tumbled to the ground "No" I yelled as she tore the hat and scarf. "That's enough" I cried as she ran away leaving a heap on the ground, i ran forward, stroking the heap. Suddenly from out of the silence i heard sniffing and moan's. "Spirit, whats that?" The spirit waved it's hand. "Quiet listen" I listened as the sniffing turned into crying and a toddler toddled from behind the snow pile and lifted up the scarf and hat, and ran home screaming. I lay down on the snow and cried. "Did i really do this, did i?" The spirit nodded it's head and stood up, it grabbed my hand, suddenly I was back in my room.
