The Pursuit Of Ölum - Book in 30 days

Chapter 12 - Vision - 23/11/2023

"Finally, you stir from the embrace of sleep's soft glove!

The uncle's reprimand, made you disappear for a time"

"How long in the quiet haven of dreams did I repose?", he asked

"A day, it seems, in tranquil slumber's throes.", she replied

"The sister's presence lingered, a silent guardian near,

Yet you eluded my awakening, I fear."

"Yeha, but..."

And it hit him, as snow, in the summer day

As milk with vinegar and cheese

Exactly, as that day, when his sister passed away

He got the vision, before his very own eyes

He saw a tree, made of blue

While he saw a little girl

Playing by the tree, humming to the wind

Then her father shouted, scary, saved

Come down, it is okay

As it was happening Ölum was hiding in the snow

Slowly sneaked and neared, behind them quick

He was preparing to attack

The vision became clear

The boy jumped out of the bed

"What is happening?", she asked

He ignored the question, looked at the window

Saw how heavens got black

He hoped that it was normal in this town

He pointed at it and asked:

"Is it normal that they are black?"

"What do you mean with that?

I see every color outside, but black"

"Tree of blue?!" He screamed

"Tree of blue?" In dissonance she feared

"DO YOU KNOW WHERE IS TREE OF BLUE?"

To preserve the peace, was impossible for him

When vision was still clear

"Yeah, I think, I understand what you mean

I sell my bread near there sometimes

Also, I remember how..."

"I don't care about your bread!

Take me there, right now!"

She was stunned, needed time to think

He was a different man, compared how she thought to be

"Why? Why you need..."

"Take me there now!"

He screamed at her

She got scared and remember

How her father, with same tone

Beat her mother up

Until she was as red as heart

How she tried cover her eyes

But father shout:

"Don't you dare force me to hit your mother more!"

Her eyes closed reluctantly, she did not want to
