The New World

Every single step finds her eyes wide, a smile parting her lips. She can only see what is in front of her. For the moment it is the most amazing thing in the world. High-pitched laughter splits the air.

Racing from her current distraction to the new shiny object takes a toll on her tiny legs. Her breathing is labored like that of an out-of-shape 5k runner. She pushes on.

She temporarily loses her hearing when others tell her it is time leave the premises. One more slide. One more climb. One more discovery.
