Second Childhood


  

Second Childhood


By Craig Wilson


The smoke clears, and I’m not at home.

I notice I’m in a brand-new play centre.

Some employees tell me I’m the new hire.

I shrug. I go to the ball pit and clean it.

When I exit the ball pit, I become a child.

In fact, I'm back to my eight-year-old self.

I use this opportunity to have some fun.

Playing in this centre makes me happy.

Heck, I've made some new pals here too.

I never want to leave this wonderful centre.

The alarm goes off, and I leave my dream.


The End


The above story is a loose adaptation of a dream I had. If there is anything you would like to ask, feel free to leave a comment, and thank you for reading.
