THE SMELL

What a great smell, Sam thought as she stood behind the thin glass walls of the bakery. The intoxicating aroma almost made her swell up causing her to lean even more on the see through wall for the strength to appear standing. The wall let out a groan because of the weight. Sam wasn't the most fit women and she knew it so she simply ignored the sound and went back to the smell.
She had always loved bakeries, ever since she could remember. Her father would sometimes let her use a nickel to buy a piece of bread or, if she was really lucky, a small brownie. How she loved going to smell the smells with her father.
It was a crisp November day and the temperature was well on its way to freezing. That's why I'm so hungry, she thought, because of Thanksgiving. Well I won't be subdued by that again this year! And with that she briskfully walked off, away from the smell.

HOSPITAL

Harry could only slightly crack open one of his eyes. The other was not yet healed. He looked around and realized he was in a hospital. Having never been to one before, not even when he was born caused him to survey the surroundings. The odd white walls and the perfectly clean room made his stomach feel queasy causing him to quickly shut his eye. He couldn't even remember how he had gotten in that sickly perfect white room. Searching his memory caused the brain to ache, so he simply laid there motionless.

CLOUDS

The cool grass stuck to my back as I laid there watching the sky. Seeing the large white clouds swirl together is always a calming thing. Have you ever notice how fast they seem to move when you really concentrate? It's as if they are trying to escape to a new scenic view. I never seem to be able to escape from my own scenes. They're always haunting the insides of my eyes, waiting for me. And now even the clouds are passing me by through life.
