• Laying on those wet clouds, I dozed off. A burst of light came through. I woke up looking at it.
    It wasn't the sun. I stood up. The light came closer. "Kotori....Come to me..." I squinted. A shadow from the light seemed so familiar. As I flew towards it, the shadow disappeared. I waved my hands of where it was, but all I found in my hand was glitter.

    I flew down to the surface and opened the door to my house. I looked at a picture of Mom.
    Just then I recognized the shadow from earlier. "C-could it be...you? It could be possible." I
    mumbled to the picture. I glanced at the picture again. I miss your smile, Mom. I began to cook
    something. Not cook...make. I'm bad at cooking. gonk I made a few rice balls. It wasn't the same when Mom passed away... I sat on the doorstep looking up at the sky. As I finished the last one, I began to fly. Fly to see if that light was there. I passed the sun. There stood that light.
    "Momma?" I asked. I came closer. The shadow ( I don't know what it is yet!!!) took out it's hand.
    I grabbed it. It felt all...soft, like a cloud. "Kotori...I'm your mother..." She held my hand tighter and flew me up somewhere. I glanced at angels then looked back at Mom. She was beautiful.
    She landed in a soft cloud. I began to cry tears of joy. She hugged me. "Mom...are you...alive?"
    I asked her. "No, but deep in your heart I am. You have to believe."
    "Believe?"
    ..............

    No response. "Mom?"




    Huh?! I looked up. A dream...? I was on a cloud. "Kotori!!! Lunch!" I looked down from the surface. Mom! Just before I came down, I thanked God.
