This is a little excerpt about a character I created a while back: (Here is the link to the short story: Gold Fish Are Gauranteed to Die)
Mr. Wild lies against me. His heart beat echoes through my body, his presence envelopes me. His tiny hands stretch to reach around me. I can feel them strain against my belly. He smells, of powder, baby-ness and hope. He is talking to me and as I close my eyes his enquiring questions wash over me and I think:
I want to run ahead of you
Smashing away any of life’s lessons
Ensuring your path is free and clear
As you cry into my shoulder
I think of the years ahead
The times when I will not be there
To protect you from life’s scares
How much I would give to keep you
From feeling an ounce of pain
Shedding a tear of sadness
Feeling a tremor of fear
I want your innocence to progress unspoiled
I want your happiness to be undiminished by knowledge
