McKinney by Larkin L
I drive for 4 hours
We pull up in a long stone driveway
I step out of the tall car
My hands full of luggage
I smell the crisp fall air
It always smells the same here
“Larkin, I’ve missed you,” I hear
“I’ve missed you too Sadie,” I say back
“Come inside
Make sure not to let the cat out” she says
Yum
I smell chocolate chip cookies
I run straight to the kitchen
A whole plate of fresh cookies
I take a bite, as the chocolate melts in my mouth
The sweet cookie makes a mess
I run upstairs to my room
What a surprise
She remodeled it again
Full of her beautiful paintings
Made by her old hands
I run to her closet
Full of designer purses and jewelry
I want it to be mine one day
Another stop
The backyard
I run through the garden to the wooden swing
I swing high but careful
I jump off and head to the corner of the big backyard
I run between a small secret place
Between where two stone walls should meet
But they don’t
I go through them
I run towards the huge green pieces of land
The golf course
I run around in circles tons of times
Until I fall on the ground dizzy
I rush back to the house
“Suppers ready,” I hear
And then I know for sure
I’m at my grandmas house
I’m in McKinney
