Blue Raspberry

All of her senses were heightened as the breeze tickled her face and lifted her hair from her cheeks.  The brilliant shade of inky blue intrigued her.  She let her mind wander.  A wispy tendril of white floated into view.   It twisted and swirled into a shape that resembled something akin to an ice cream cone.  The breeze picked up again.  Whistling, it brushed against her lips and she imagined what the sky would taste like. Blue raspberry, her taste buds screamed. The tendril of white turned into a pile of white.  It gracefully moved in front of the sun and engulfed her into darkness.  She was reminded of her grandfather’s visit to the States.  His hand covering her eyes.  The shattering of the glass, cascading down the wall.  Her parents voices echoing in her ears.  And then her grandfather, taking her hand.  Pulling her down the street towards the nearest convenience store and offering her a blue raspberry slushie.
