Short Stories of Rayna

Speaks the Wind

When I was a girl, " Raynas mom began. "I met a girl just like you. Well she was much older of course." She sat at her feet, her young mind in wonder. Mariella told the story of who this young woman was and how she had hoped to have a daughter of such statue. Her moms words faded out into a reverie of this time.

This girl carried herself as if she was taller than a mountain. As she walked past me I nudged my sister.

"Look look! She's as tall as you Della. " the young Mariellas sister whipped her face and said "would you like to ask her Mari? " she nodded furiously. She ran up and tapped on the tall ladys leg. The lady knelt down and smiled sweetly.

"What can I help you with today? " she seemed to sing every word. The little girl grew shy and stammered her words. The tall woman reached over and plucked a flower from the nearby bush and tucked it in the little girls hair. "Sweet girl," she giggled "when you can't remember your word try using a song." She was beautiful, big brown eyes and honey colored skin. Her smile seemed to light up the whole street and when she stood the sun glowed around, bathing her in golden light.

Mariella beamed and ran back to her watchful sister. The girl hummed a melody as she seemed to fade into the bright autumn light. The girl looked back but she was gone. "What did she say? " her sister asked. The little girl smiled at her and hummed a tune.
