Winter Reminiscing

Lost in thought in the middle of the park on a wintery evening, equipped with nothing but a large overcoat and a haphazardly prepared salami and cheddar sandwich, Lucy took the time to ponder how splendid being a young girl had been. She daydreamed of the love of her life, the handsome man who had sat across from her in her physics class eighteen years ago, who went by the name of Allibaster Goonhauss. How they had cuddled together on the playgrounds between classes, taking shelter from the blustery December winds in the plastic tunnel overlooking the private pond, where Madame Vrabel tended to the geese that flocked there year round. Now, munching her sandwich with a lonely expression on her face reddened by the cold, she decided to find him again, wherever he was, thinking she would be quite pleased to see his lively face again, regardless of how the years had treated it. Sadly Allibaster Goonhauss was currently serving a life sentence in prison with no possibility for parole.
