The wind whistled past my ears as I ran, my fingers sliding across the fence quickly. The cold sensation of the fence gave me goose bumps throughout my body. I felt free. I smiled as the sun blanketed me with warmth. I felt loved. My bare feet stepped quickly into the deep yellow grass, pounding on the surface of the Earth. I felt fast. Through my ears I could hear the whispers from the grass and the wind. I felt accompanied. Through my eyes I saw a world so lovely and so alive. I felt blessed. My lungs full of air and my heart beating to the perfect pace. I felt oh so alive. The elements of the Earth took hold of me. It flowed through me. My mind emptied from all my troubles. And for once, I didn't feel alone, but connected with the Earth. 2008-05-01T20:38:22Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/29103 <p>Pretty! =)</p> <p>I love how this story makes you feel so much at peace; you really do get a sense of that connection the narrator feels.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/29103?basename=59861 2008-05-01T20:38:22Z kells http://ficlets.com/authors/unravelingthestory
