Four Alarm Fire

“This day is sooo boring….” The little boy mumbled as he shuffled along at the back of the class. He couldn’t understand why they where all being forced to go to the museum. It was the dumbest field trip of the year.

Glancing around every now and then, but mostly watching the floor as he followed along, the day felt so long. None of these weird abstract paintings where of any interest to the seven year old boy. It made no sense. Many where just splotches. How could this be art? A dot, that's art? Weird.

Nothing had any meaning to him. At least until he saw the fire. It took the boredom right out of him. It was amazing. The bright reds, yellows, oranges and the black. The picture drew him in and made him feel apart of it.

He could imagine himself as a fireman. The heat and smoke. Even fear of facing down such a monster. The artist was great to portray all these things through one simple painting. The seven year old boy then decided, he too would become an artist, so he could show others something great.

Introdution

You know all those crazy stories we’ve all grown up with. The ones of legends. Places of magic. Where there are heroes, damsels and princes on shining white horses, always there to save his first sight love. That’s where I live. A land fairy tails, mysterious creatures and myths. At least here in the safety of my mind.

I’m a dreamer of sorts. Always staring off into space. No one can ever really guess what is going on behind this facade of the quiet, shy girl. For those who do not know me by name, I am Sayuri. Or you can call me Lilly, for in your language, that is what my name means.

Though I may claim to live in a fantasy, in all reality, my place of origin is a rural part of Europe. Even though my name comes from Japan. My mother gave the name to me. She died when I was very young, so it is only my father and I.

I’ve little writing experiences, but many times I have been told with my imagination I should do something with it. A goal for me would be to write and publish a series of books. Ideas that I’ve had for many years, bottled up inside my head.
