Shapeshifter

      “Hello kids,” I said as I sat in a large chair in front of a large fireplace. A ring of small children was seated in front of me. “What story would you like today?”

Fall is a season for fun. There are those leave piles that are waiting to be jumped in. Those beautiful sunsets and pink and yellow sunrises. The nice cool breezes that feel so good.

I heard the sound of a stick break. I was scared. I just wanted to be home with my family curled up on the couch reading Cat and the Hat to my sister.

Mountain biking.

Going through the woods super fast, sending roots as drops, using banks as wall rides.

     Flow trails, smooth and fast like a car on a freshly paved road.

“Hello, hello, why is no one answering the phone?”

“ Um, Gram, that is the TV remote-not the phone.”

“Oh my.  I did it again.  I am getting pretty good at doing that, aren’t I ?”
