My grandpa always tells me these ridiculous stories about people fighting off monsters, going on adventures that no one can believe and most silly of all, the stories where he tells me people can travel back in time using simple technology. I never believed in folktales and stories people tell me about though my grandpa says the tales I have heard of all have big meaning.
Today, my grandpa and grandma took me out to the local park so that we could get some fresh air. The fact that we barely go out unless there was a special occasion. We were strolling through the park when my grandma told me that I could get something from the shop across the street. I grinned and dashed towards the store and something was especially salient. It was shimmering and was gold like my mum's eyes. I never got to see my mum. Just the photographs with very faint colour in them. I only got to visit my mum's house once a year. When I visited them, I only got to see my dad. A person that treats me as if I'm an object. Can I see my mum at least just once? I mean, if my mum and dad are in a poor relationship, sure just send me pictures of my mum through the mail! It's just that I didn't get to see my mum for more than half my life! I finally got the bright round object as I slowly put my buttery hands onto the slippery object. It felt like water. It was delicate. It felt like my bath. It was nearly everything.
I gazed up seeing this lady with a pair of round orange glasses. She pulled me up from the rough stone floor asking me if I was cold. She wore a thick woolly jacket and had a grey beanie on her head.
“You wear such funny clothes!” She joked
“My grandma got this for me for my birthday,” I replied calmly
“Your style of clothes surely don’t fit me!” She laughed
“But my grandma said my clothes are the most modern clothing!” I said with pride
“ Ok then, where are your parents young one?” The lady asked me
“ My mum sort of abandoned me and my dad is very harsh and doesn’t love me,” I replied with sorrow
She paused for a second and gave me and confused look. What is your name?
“July Rachelson” (lie) I told her with glee.
“Oh ok then are you willing to live with me?” She asked me kindly
“Sure,” I said softly
I sauntered through the street with many people staring at me with a confused and disgusted looks. I looked back at them with the same expression. I got stopped by a policeman with a long moustache and mean eyes. I backed off as he asked me what my name was and what the heck I was wearing. I replied with the same stupid things though, for the clothing, I said it was the new designer clothes only for women.
“That is against the violation code 1213!” He grunted
Everyone that was in the streets gasped as he fined me a whopping 2000 pounds! How was I going to pay that much money to him when I don't even have that money! I mean my grandma did give me ten bucks though it won't pay that fine off! He said I have to get my parents right on the spot to pay the fine.
"I don't have parents!" I answered.
"Well, how did you get your little designer's clothing?" He exclaimed
"I found it near the river over to our right," I replied with a smart look.
"Where are your parents anyway?" He asked
"Oh, they burnt in a fire," I said in grief
Something was wrong. I just realised! They don't have any violation codes for clothing anymore! They were also wearing different clothing! I think I've travelled into the past. I can't believe I just realised. The lady I saw earlier with the round orange glasses ran towards me and asked me what was happening. Her gold eyes lit up. She saw the policeman and she had a disappointed look. She shook her head slowly and walked away as if it was none of her business. "Hey policeman, look over there!" I shouted trying to grab his attention
I sprinted to the lady's shop holding onto the orb. I woke up again holding onto something that was shining. It was a necklace. I think it was from the lady! I thought of returning it to her but why would she care? My grandpa and grandma staggered toward me seeing the necklace.
"That necklace is your mum." The uttered...
