Awareness of the outside world. It Just Gets Stranger. Reading bonanza. The joy of discovering a new-to-me blog with an archive that goes back to 2007. Hat tip to M.
~~~
INside each one of us are parts of our family.
Heredity in one corner and habitat in the other corner.
Examining who I came from in the objects around me.
Rows of cards laid on a table for double solitaire.
Inch wide leather straps display a dozen antique horse brasses.
Tankard lettered with my three names if a boy child.
Alice in Wonderland in an edition older than I am.
Now the desk holds my computer instead of legal pads.
Cornflower blue stencils on a vintage CorningWare casserole cook pan.
Exterior things inside my house; internal memories shape my world.
Afterword
Inspired by Micromemoir Marathon, 2. Inheritance. Did not submit. It is not a moment in time and it works better as ten separate sentences rather than as the required paragraph. It is 100 words.
Objects in order: grandmother, grandfather, grandfather, grandmother, father, mother
Did you catch the tricks? Once this post is up, I will leave hints in the first comment.
Related post, since it is fiction, I did not submit that one either. [The Arrival, Five Minutes of Fiction]
Onwards!
