i drove home from mom and dad’s house just as the sun finished setting. it was sorta warm so i drove with the windows in the sistermobile all the way down. i let the wind chase my troubled thoughts away and watched the lightning bugs blink in the grass of the median.

i had just watched “crouching tiger, hidden dragon.” oh how i wish i could fly like that. i was enraptured by all the fight scenes. i want to be wudan fighter when i grow up.
