Corn Picking

 


Corn Picking


By Craig Wilson


The smoke clears, and I realize I am on a farm.

I don't remember going to a tiny farm, though.

Some random farmer carefully approaches me.

This farmer lady reminds me I am a volunteer.

I am given a straw basket. I have to pick corn.

I shrug. I wear my big basket and pick corn.

I feel warm. The cornfield feels like a maze.

I stick with it. I drop the corn cobs into my basket.

I can see a counter for my corn, just like in a game.

My phone alarm goes off. I quickly awake.


The End
