Unless if it’s mad, passionate, extraordinary love,
It is a waste of time,
There are too many mediocre things in life
Love should not be one of them- Love Shop
1.) Just the Perfect Summer’s Day to Get Lost
Michaela Rae
My name is Michaela Rae, not Michaela, not Rae, Michaela Rae. After 16 years of having to explain that to people I get really frustrated explaining to people that my name is not only Michaela. My parents decided to start a fad having two named children therefore my sister’s name, Mary Jane. Yep, like from SpiderMan.
However my sister is only six so not many people get her name as confused. My parents split up when I was younger and because my mom left, my dad got complete custody of me. My dad is in the Air Force, and we were stationed in Japan. I’ve lived there since I was seven so I’m actually quite fluent in Japanese. And since my sister was actually born here she can only speak Japanese, which will become a problem if we have to ever move back to the United Kingdom, where I was born, or to the United States, where we all held citizenship.
Although many people at school try to talk to me because they think I’m interesting being blonde haired and green eyed, but I’m just not a people person. I am an animal person, although the base housing we live on does not let us keep pets. I was a failed crazy cat lady.
I was walking home from school on the last day of school for a while. Until August when it starts up again. In Japan and many other Asian Countries, you pretty much have school the entire year. Except for July, December, and January. Those are months you get completely off. Which I’m not sure If that’s any better. Since I go to a private school for “gifted” children. Seeing as I’m not really gifted, I really don’t fit in there. So I really like “summer break” because I’m not forced to interact with anybody at all. Except for my dad and sister, sometimes.
I caught up to the primary school that my sister goes to and I walk her back to home at the base housing on the military base. Then because my only hobby is eating cakes and ice cream I went back into town on my bike and got frozen yogurt. Then I made my way out of the city a little bit and to the nearby river that flowed through because I think it’s really peaceful and I love being outside.
Unlike most people I don’t think about all of the endless possibilities that could happen to you outside. All of the bugs or spiders that could bite you, any animal attacking you, I didn’t mind getting dirty or wet.
Once I finished my kiwi frozen yogurt with all of the sweets I could tower on it, I decided I would wade through the water. I took off my brown Sperry’s that I chose to wear with my school uniform, and stuck my feet in the water. It was exactly like a soft sandy beach front, it was more of a rocky, muddy, grassy river. But it was wide and shallow so there was a lot for me to walk through.
There came a point that I didn’t care if the skirt that went just below my knees was getting wet, so I picked it up with my hand and held my shoes in the other. I continued walking up the river, until it got deeper. For some reason I didn’t feel like turning around and stopping. I knew there was a waterfall up ahead and I wanted to see if I could get to it. So I walked through until it got so deep to the point where I had to start treading water. No red flags where going up, I was just giving zero shits that day, and it was scorching hot outside, therefore the water was a refresher. I had to swim to the other side of the river to get to the waterfall and once I did the water was not getting any shallower. It was just staying at the same depth, the edge of the river was just this wall of rock. I climbed up it, put my shoes back on and started climbing up the rocks that had water cascading down them. The rocks weren’t sturdy enough to hold onto so I used the nearby tall grass that was growing decently tall and was anchored into the ground. I climbed up the even taller rocks until I got to a place where I could stand without the help of grass. I then looked at the amazing view and how tall I was up at. Over the trees I could see the skyline of Tokyo. I then turned back around and noticed I still had one more rock to climb. This was where there was a veil of water showering own onto all of the other rocks. These rocks were sturdy enough to hold my weight so I was able to find stones that my hands could hold onto easily. I then pulled myself up with the little upper body strength that I had. I reached for the other rocks and hauled myself up all the way.
“I did it!” I exclaimed going inside through the water veil and sitting inside the small inners of the cave. Once I reached to the edge of the cave I felt like I was going through some invisible wall that let me pass through. It felt strange, but not too strange, so I just ignored it. Deciding I had enough and was ready to dry off so that I could go home. I turned around and backed my way through the veil of water and down towards the second tier of rocks. Once I got to the bottom I turned around and admired my view once more. Except the Tokyo skyline was gone. It was just trees and more trees.
"What the hell?" I asked aloud, "No, I must be seeing things," I shook my head as I stepped forward but didn't realize that the edge of the next tier of rocks was that close and slipped down landing on my butt really hard. And then falling all the rest of the way down scrapping and bruising my body all the way down.
"Mother fucker," I cursed as I finally stopped landing in the water. "I'm just going to lie here in my cold shame." Eventually I floated back to the rocky beach entry and just laid there as well. After a while of wallowing I'm my blood and self-pity I managed to pick myself up and start to walk back to where I'd thought I'd left my bike.
"Okay, where'd my bike go?" I asked myself as I was pretty sure where I left it and it was gone. "Bikes don't just disappear,"
Whatever I'd thought as I start walking to where I'd thought the dirt road was. But when I got there wasn't a nice laid flat dirt road, there was just a meadow of talk grass and flowers.
"Okay, I really am not in Tokyo anymore," I said realizing that everything was gone, almost as if to how it was originally before technology and a civilization came in. I must have gone back in time, and a long ways back for this to not be a dirt road anymore.
"Shit, how am I supposed to get back?" I asked and the simplest answer would be, "the way I came!"
So I went back up the river through the waterfall and up into the cave. When I went back to the edge of the cave I didn't feel a wall like I did before. I turned back around and peered through the waterfall and noticed the skyline had not returned. "Goddammit!" I cursed as I went back into the cave and back out again and nothing still had changed. "This isn't real, nnno this isn't happening," I mumbled as I climbed my way back and made sure I wouldn't stumble and trip. However when I got to the same place I tripped before; I lost my footing and slipped down bruising and hurting myself again on all of the rocks. Falling into the water, I floated back to the other side of the river.
Still wondering what I was going to do I made my way back to the meadow and just laid there. I looked at all of the cuts and bruises I had forming around my body and decided to do nothing about them.
After a nice nap I'd thought when I woke up everything would be back the same way it was. But it wasn't. I laid my head back down and pretended to go back to sleep. Although I do not know who I was pretending for. Ruffling through the grass I heard footsteps coming closer, only not human footsteps the type of footsteps that run on four legs. I instantly got up to see what it was and screamed. This monster had gray leathery skin that had rotten patches of hair growing all over it. Talons for claws and daggers for teeth, its eyes where a blood thirsty red, so I'm pretty sure I fell into the category of what it ate. I was paralyzed with fear so I just stood there motionless, waiting to get eaten. Right when I got a nice sniff of the monster that smelt like moldy potatoes, I screamed once more and back away.
Before I could even blink I saw a red blur of motion in front of my primary view.
"What? Where you just waiting to get eaten?" This snarly sarcastic voice asked me.
