Novel & Cerita Behind The Green Curtain

It had to be the exact shade of the sun - yellow with strains of burnt orange mixed into it. I groaned and shut my eyes, once more willing the memories to stop. The strain of squeezing my eyes shut caused a headache to flare up. I opened them once again and they settled on the backdrop behind the curtains. Leaves, green and vibrant with dewy drops on each one, gaped at me. The quintessential evergreen forest. Aretha's choice, yet again. That had to go. I clapped my hands and I heard the whir of the gears as it flipped, changing to another backdrop. I smiled as I saw the replacement. Snow-capped mountains topped with high peaks and sleek mounds.

Green light exploded everywhere. The stairs of light flickered. The green-eyed people gasped, clutching their heads. Their eyes flashed white. “What are you doing?” the not-father yelled. His face glitched, flickering between young and old. “You’re destroying the collection! You’re deleting fifty years of history!” “I’m setting them free!” Maya yelled back. She felt the “Green Frequency” she’d told Julian about, a secret code, a door the Gardeners forgot to lock. She threw everything she had at it—her will, her memories, the smell of rain, Julian’s hand in hers, her messy, beautiful life in Nigeria.

Diana had contributed two new large scale pieces that occupied the main wall with the authority of work that knows what it is. I wore the deep green dress I had bought three weeks earlier and had not shown to anyone, which felt deliberate in a way I did not examine too closely. Green had complicated associations for me, the small terrible dress Gemma had chosen, the color of Chris's eyes, the specific shade of the life I used to want before I understood what wanting something for myself actually felt like. Wearing green again was not a statement, exactly. It was more like reclaiming a color that had briefly belonged to a bad memory and returning it to what it actually was, which was just a c

Stretching her eyes open wide, hoping to force them to focus faster, she glanced around the front of the store, searching for Tansy. "Excuse me," a girl about Buttercup's age stepped through a fabric curtain covering the doorway to the back room, "but we're closed for the evening." She had light brown hair and a dusting of freckles over her upper cheeks and narrow nose. Her eyes were bright green and sparkled in the dim lighting.

Slowly, I moved behind the curtains, feeling both excited and scared at the same time. Being behind the curtains made me a bit hidden. People couldn't see me easily. I made sure I was in a good spot where I could hear their talk without them seeing me. My heart was beating fast because I was both nervous and excited about listening to their conversation. I crouched down a little to get comfortable. The curtains kept me hidden, and I was ready to hear what Michael and the guard were saying. I felt a mix of excitement and guilt because I was listening secretly. I took small, quiet breaths as I got ready to listen and find out what was happening between them.

Survivors of the Gipus Curse would come too, as obligation to pledging their allegiance to Green kingdom as assurance that they had stopped practicing black magic. The kingdoms were thrown far apart from each other, none was in close range with the other. From afar, the Green kingdom shone brightly. It seemed to be floating off a green layer of clouds. Surrounding its outskirts was a golden hedge that had sparkly spikes at the top of it. Rainbow birds chirped at the top of the castle roof, roaming around it every morning as they hummed a melodious tune.

Lyra walked to the back, and there, hidden by vines and old trees, stood a small glass greenhouse. Or rather, what seemed to be a greenhouse. Because in front of it there was a veil. A liquid curtain of opalescent magic rippled slowly in the air, as if breathing. Blue, gold, pink, green. The colors shifted constantly, forming impossible reflections that danced over the surrounding snow. Alexei slowed his steps, his light eyes reflecting the changing light. “So this is what you were hiding here… all this time.” Lyra smiled softly, her lips curving with a mix of pride and shyness.

Unnaturally deep. A rich, saturated green that flickered with hints of neon under the light. And when the spotlight hit it, it didn’t just sparkle. It glowed. Softly. Eerily. As if it carried a story or a curse.
