FORGOTTEN AND FULFILLED

Memories. Those are one of the greatest things we are gifted with. One that

fills us with great jubilation. Or at least that is what Julio thought as he went

through a dusty old photobook of him and his brothers. With a winning smile

on his face, his eyes lost in the crinkles that his wide smile had created. But
after turning a page, his smile instantly fell. It was a roughly made drawing

of a girl he had made as a kid, trying his best to remake her warm look and

comforting smile. She wasn’t any ordinary girl. His eyes started running wild as
he staggered behind, memories buried deep inside his brain running free in front

of his eyes.

With eyes big and mouth agape in astonishment ,little Julio stared at his brother,
Jacob, while Jacob looked back at Julio in confusion, wondering why Julio was

acting crazy. This wasn’t the first time Julio had seen that, it was probably the

fifth or sixth time since it had started, but it made Julio excited all the same.

While Julio had been playing with Jacob, the white mist suddenly surrounded him.

She was there.
