Wilkins looked at her with a mix of astonishment and fascination, but said nothing, giving Lila silent permission to proceed.

Part of me thought maybe Time was taking me back into a moment in time that is surrounded in fire where I would suffer and burn while he stood there and laughed at me. Maybe I need to stop reading so many books. “Where are we?” I ask, as the softest breeze kisses my face. I twist, looking around for any sense of familiarity. Wherever we are, it not longer exists in this state a million years from now. We stand in a field, or perhaps in a large expanse of many fields. Everywhere I look is long grass up to our waists, the colour of pure emerald green. Within the blades, tall wildflowers grow, peeking up above the line of grass showing of vivid colours.

Jogging through the grass. "Baby!" With tears welling up in my eyes, I cried out. He smiled as he turned. "Mom!" I sprinted in his direction. My heart was light. But he disappeared as soon as I got to him. Lost. Similar to smoke. "No!" I let out a gasp. The sky abruptly became grey. The trees groaned and leaned back. The grass withered. There was no longer any laughter. Then I heard someone crying. Gentle. I'm afraid.

"you see... I had a very beautiful flower. It was so beautiful that I took care of it. Protected it for a very long period and the best thing about this exercise was that the flower responded positively to care" Rachel whispered. "okay?" "After this long period, I noticed that grasses began to grow around it. These grasses were harmless and tender but I got so angry and jealous. No.....jealous isn't the word to use... But...I got so angry, with my hands. I pulled them out" Rachel whispered again. The priest was still silent, looking straight into Rachel's eyes. He zoned out for a few seconds before he decided to respond to her metaphoric sentences.

ELIANA. I found myself in the center of the evergreen grasses. Swaying my feet through the tender earth, I plummeted forward with my arms stretched out. The air was a gentle caress in the fields, carrying the sweet fragrance of blossoming flowers. The sun emerged on that beautiful day, casting a warm glow upon the meadow, and the grass beneath my feet danced in response. Butterflies painted the air with delicate strokes of color and even the sky above was a canvas of pastel hues.

The gentle breeze that rustles the sunflower heads fills the air with a sweet floral scent. We pause in the middle of the field, where the grass beneath our feet is lush green in contrast to the sea of yellow around us. The soft blades of grass tickle our skin as we lower ourselves down, finding a cozy spot amidst nature's splendor. The ground embraces our tired bodies, offering a natural bed of comfort.

“But if I had to choose just one color, I’d say. . .you’re a soft green.” She looks at me, her expression shifting into curiosity. “Green?” I nod, my thumb brushing the back of her hand. “Yeah. It’s calming. And it has depth—like the way the forest feels when you’re surrounded by it, but you’re still open to the light. You’re not afraid to grow, even when things are hard.” Her eyes search mine, almost as if she’s trying to make sense of my words. She’s quiet for a moment, then says softly, “I don’t know if anyone has ever described me like that before.”

“Oh no. You misunderstand me. The soil here is . . . persnickety, for lack of a better term. The fact that it let you have your way at all is a minor miracle.” The heat leaches from my cheeks, but I’m still tense as a rusty tin man. “P-persnickety?” The witch rewards me with a smile. “Finicky? Ornery? The ground here is a son of a bitch, not to put too fine a point on it.” I glance down at the dry clumps surrounded by lush green grass. I can’t lie; I’ve thought the same more than once. “I think it needs watering more often than you’d expect. It sucks down moisture in seconds.”

she prompts, her voice soft and melodic, so full of hope and wonder. “It’s a clear blue, endless and free. Not a cloud in sight,” I say, my gaze drifting upwards. I wish I could give her this sky, offer it to her as a token of the remorse that eats away at me every day. She leans back, her hands feeling the grass beneath her. “Tell me about the grass,” she says, ever curious, ever so sweet. “It’s like a sea of green,” I describe, watching as her fingers dance over the blades, a tender and exploratory gesture. “Some patches are darker, others lighter, all swaying with the breeze. It’s... peaceful here.”

“Original, I guess?” “Earth isn’t so bad,” I said, and she looked at me from the corner of her eyes. “Well, it doesn’t matter. Let's get you to the house,” she followed after me, commenting on everything she saw. “Your grass is—" she squealed and her energy quickly dwindled down as she tilted her head to the said. "Lamely green." “It’s a variation of colours, but the green grass shows that the land is still good,” I explained, but it seemed she wasn’t listening. “Why are you staring at the zwinoni?
