I was about to leave when he spoke.
“Excuse
me young girl, thank you so much for your sandwich. I
haven’t eaten vegetables lately. I was grateful for your kindness. Let
me give you something to cheer you up.”
He handed me a pair of orange candies like Skittles but then I noticed
they have small roots like it was a bean to be planted.
“It’s okay Mister—“ I was about to hand it over to him when I realized
there was no beggar there. I was too confused so I head home.
“I’m home Dad!” I said as I reached for the door to open.
“Dad?”
I heard no response.
I reached for the fridge and saw his note.
Dear Pumpkin,
Daddy’s away on a med mission.
Hope to see you soon!
Love,
Dad
“Ugh! Another med mission?”
My father always supported medical missions from the remote areas
of the town.
I reached for my vegetable cereal and headed to my room.
It was time for my favorite television series Wizards of Waverly Place
when I thought about the candies.
I reached for them and threw them away, it landed on the carpet
below. I was about to drink my fresh milk when Sloppy, my Chihuahua,
nudged me.
“Stop it Sloppy! It’s my milk!”
It’s too late for that now, my milk slipped from my hand and landed
on the carpet.
“Now what? Dad would kill me for this!”
I turned off the television and find a rug when I saw the candies
emanated a faint light. I watched as the candies began to glow and
suddenly made a big glowing green circle on the carpet!
It grew bigger and bigger as they reached me and I was dragged
from below.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
