The warm grassy fields of my home bring a sweet smile to my face, the temperature not too warm but not too cold. The sun shining gently down onto the house I call my home. Once I open the door and take off my shoes. I walk through the brightly lit hallway, painted in a light sky blue that gives the house some life from the endless green fields of our planet.
Sweet sounds of giggling coming from the kitchen, left a bright grin on my face. The smell of fresh clementines and custard emanating from that area. I peaked around the corner to see my sweet baby girl and stunning wife in the kitchen together. They were laughing together as they filled in a vanilla cake they made together, adding custard and clementines to enhance the cake’s flavour.
I couldn’t help but quietly chuckle myself as I snuck up on my little girl first, picking her up from behind and shushing her silently so we could scare her mother. Once my angel of a wife turned around and noticed our little clementine had disappeared, her expression became that of confusion and worry. Her worries were quickly quelled when she felt my arms wrap around her waist and the loud giggling of our sweet baby girl above her.
Her body turned towards me slowly, her face was full of excitement and joy at the knowledge of my safe arrival home.
“You really had me worried, my love. I thought something happened to our precious little clementine. But never mind that, I’m beyond overjoyed that you’ve returned home. Why don’t you get yourself cleaned up, our little treat for you should be all ready by then.”
She spoke with a gentle and loving voice that it was hard not to agree with her honest request. I lifted our little girl up into the air to kiss her cheek and make her giggle. Once she was placed on the floor, I made sure to grab my wife’s waist and give her a deep, passionately loving kiss on her lips which made her giggle, just like our little girl.
We parted after only a few seconds but it was more than enough for the both of us to savour each other. I grin widely while lingering on my wife’s hips before eventually leaving to remove all the grime and dirt on my skin that had accumulated over the day while I was gone.
Our little girl waved goodbye to me with a big, toothy smile as my wife gave me a small, softer one; she gave me a tiny wave as I disappeared into the hall. While walking back down the hallway. The brightly coloured walls slowly dimmed darker and ashier than before.
By the time I got to the stairway and turned around, I was standing in what was the front entrance. All it was now was turned to ash and rubble. Only the structure of my home was left. My eyes went wide with horror as I ran to the kitchen again. Laying in the ash was a little cloth doll in a bright orange dress and a gold ring band with one small but beautiful sapphire embedded inside the metal.
It was my daughter’s favourite doll and my wife’s wedding ring.
Oh… Oh no… I couldn’t save them… Again.
Another. Fudgin’. Dream.
