Chasing spirits

#1
Home decoration and stained-glass, slowly losing their idyllic charm. "Come on, honey, don't be silly. You don't need to earn money to be independent". Fumes of five spices mix with the screams of little Jackie and little Tyler as the mirage reappears, in her cooking pot.

#2
Perched on the edge of the diving board, She tries to shake off the hangover from last night. Always at the top. Of things. Of the corporate ladder {nice little corner office}. Of the mountain she trekked last weekend with the blue-eyed boy {her blue-eyed boy too}. Of the metaphorical world as she does a graceful back flip and dives neatly into the ice-cold water {visions of heaven swimming in her head}. Just as well she didn't learn how to swim, to be invincible would be a curse.
