| Past Home Writer's Prompt
My childhood home came into view. I was half tempted to turn and run away, fast.
I stood perfectly still looking at the walls that fashioned my past and, ultimately, who I was. Both good and bad memories rushed forward, leaving me breathless.
The structure beckoned and I moved forward.
I circled around the tree, the swing long gone. The echoes of my cousins’ ghosts cried out, “Tag, you’re it!” And was that a scent of apple pie I smelled? It couldn’t be.
Up the front steps I go. The screen door hung crooked on its hinges. Without bothering to knock, I pushed opened the unlocked wooden door and stepped in.
“Hello, dear. I’ve been expecting you.”
In that instant, the past I tried to run away from met me in the present, and stole my future.
