text: I had this dream. It must’ve been the 1950’s, or some time earlier. I wasn't sure how I got there, but I knew that I wasn’t in my body, and that I wasn’t driving my car. We had the top down and were speeding down an old country two-lane road. The prettiest girl in the world was sitting in my passenger seat. She was sitting cross-legged, facing me, with the wind blowing her gorgeous golden-brown hair all over the place. She was laughing. I could never forget that perfect smile. The orange light from the setting sun caused a glisten in her eyes. I loved the way that I couldn’t keep my focus whenever I was around her. What was peculiar about this was that I felt as if it happened all in one instant, but at the same time it felt like hours. I guess this is how love is supposed to feel. She screamed with delight. She loved feeling free. I didn’t know where I was driving, but she didn’t care. It doesn’t matter where you are when you’re with the most beautiful girl on Earth. I managed to break the allure of her hazel-green eyes to check the road. Nothing. Just the open road, a warm sunset, and the girl of my dreams sitting next to me. Or so I thought. I don’t know what happened but the car suddenly flipped over. Everything was silent. I can’t clearly recall what happened but I remembered that her once-gorgeous golden-brown hair was soiled with blood and that her hazel-green eyes were filled with tears at one point. But, she never cried. The worst part was that I couldn’t save her. I reached for her but could never touch her. I called for her but she never answered. The last thing I saw was that glisten fade from her eyes. I don’t know if I ended up surviving, but it didn’t matter. All I knew was that I had robbed the world of the prettiest girl that it had ever seen. I could never forgive myself.
