Water splashed off of the dewy clovers as I ran. The sun and leaves united to create wondrous waves of light, painting a green ocean on the forest floor. "This is it, this is where I can be free," I announced to the small area seemingly uninhabited by people. "This is so much better. Who needs all those people? I am tired of being brought down, constrained and... well... it doesn't matter anymore." I walked through the trees until I found an opening in the dense forest. Sunlight shown on the small pond that was fed by a small waterfall. "It's perfect." I danced around until I fell welcoming to the gentle grass. Small specks of blue and purple flowers dotted the ground about me. I picked up a sharp rock and crawled to the large willow tree that stood out from the other oak , chestnut, and apple trees. Carefully I carved
Sasha's Utopia
Satisfied, I picked some of the flowers to lay at the base of the tree. "Finally a place to call home." A content smile spread across my face. I relaxed in the freshwater of the pond while watching the sunset send flicks of gold onto the waterfall. Lying in the grass I gently sang while allowing the last light of day to dry me off.

After a wonderful breakfast that left me feeling like royalty I decided to follow the inviting gleam of the water and went for another swim. I leapt from the top of the waterfall to be greeted by a cool yet refreshing splash. The water parted through my hair as I submerged into the liquid crystal. A few glimmering fish instantly bolted in a blur of silver upon my arrival. Pushing off of the smooth, rocky bottom I shot up to the surface to catch my breath. The sky reflected perfectly above the water and rippled as I splashed in the water. Taking a deep breath I submerged myself again, I swam amazed at how the second I submerged beneath the mirror like surface I could instantly see straight to the bottom where the fish played.
