Lagniappe

In a corner of the town, stands a building of antiques. Not an ordinary building but one that percepts the imagination; sense datum begins and a scene takes place. I am transpose to my great grandmother days. I see the rocking chair that she owed and the Raggedy Ann Doll given to me by her. She is telling the store’s owner about his antiques that this rocking chair was her favorite piece. Oh, and she would like this doll for her grandbaby. She said she wanted several rooms of furniture. All must be vintage like her. However, do not think of her as old. She was short and plump with olive skin. Her hair radiance gleamed. Her smile meant everything. She almost forgot my small gift that is when she shouted Lagniappe. _______________________________________/ Sponsor: Black Eyed Susan Contest Name: Antiques
