THE GROCERY STORE

Lilly was so tired that she fell asleep in the Creator’s hands. He kissed her face and blew a soft breeze across her beautiful, dark brown skin. He returned her home then tucked her in bed. When Lilly woke up in the morning she could smell the scent of fresh flowers in her house. Opening her eyes, she saw that her room was filled with white lilies. Lilly stayed in bed all day relaxing; she was so tired after visiting her father, the Creator. Finally, she got out of bed, showered, and got dressed, then walked down to the kitchen for something to eat. When she looked in the refrigerator she noticed there was nothing in the house to eat, so she walked to the local grocery store to pick up a few things. As she walked, she wondered how her friend Linda was doing since the last time they spoke. When she walked into the grocery store, she saw Linda working as a cashier.

“Hey, Lilly!” called Linda, excited to see her friend. She ran to Lilly and gave her a big hug. “Where have you been, Lilly?”

“Well, I’ve been very busy,” she mumbled.

“Busy doing what?” said Linda. “I have been calling you for weeks.”

“Taking care of personal things. Sorry. I just didn’t have the time to return your calls,” said Lilly. “Let’s just say a lot has happened since we last spoke.” She looked down at the floor. “Anyway, what’s going on Linda?”

“I must say, Lilly, I feel great since the seven aliens healed my body from cancer. I mean, I should be lying in my grave,” Linda said. “By the way,” she added, “where are the aliens?”

“Why are you asking about them?” said Lilly.

“Don’t get upset with me. I’m just asking,” said Linda. “They are beautiful creatures.”

“I’m not upset with you, Linda, you’re my friend. What time do you get off from work?”

“In a few minutes,” said Linda. “Let’s have a cup coffee and dessert at the coffee shop and catch up on things.”

“OK,” said Lilly. “That sounds great.”

Soon they walked down to the coffee shop to talk.

“Linda, a lot has happened since I last saw you,” said Lilly.

“Like what?” asked Linda?

“It’s hard to explain. I’m not sure if it’s even worth talking about right now,” said Lilly. “It’s a very strange conversation to have with anyone.”

“What could be stranger than seven aliens walking through a hospital wall and healing me from cancer?” said Linda. “I can still remember it; their power felt like a thousand volts penetrating through my flesh and bone. The doctors in the hospital were confounded and could not believe the cancer was gone from my body. Listen, Lilly, the doctors have been trying to find my whereabouts, and I have been hiding for months. I’m still devastated over the whole ordeal. I still remembered the evil doctor at the dark city who tried to experiment on me because I was mysteriously healed from cancer. I vowed never to forget how the Seven destroyed the dark city and saved my life.
