Pelky Sisters 
1. Mid-summer thunderstorms where the emerald grass shivers and the clouds crash like waves on the shores of slate mountains.
2. The dusty smell of old books and ink stains mingling with the heavy, bittersweet scented smoke of a bonfire.
3. Lonesome, shivering tunes called out in the darkest of nights, reaching only those too damaged to resist their meaning.
4. Watching cherry blossoms drifting gracefully to the white-dusted ground with their light scent reaching you on the warm breeze.
5. Hearing jingling bells in a strange place and being unable to determine the source; a wonderful sound without reason.
6. The sky being so clear and surroundings so dark that you could lay back and see every star imaginable.
7. Giving someone a tight hug that you’ve been waiting forever to give, and feeling them melt in your arms.
8. A clear sandy beach under the warm sun on a well-deserved day off with the waves tickling your toes.
9. Smelling a familiar baked good, which you then get to devour shortly after it’s come out of the oven.
10. The feeling of elation when you finally finish a piece of art you’ve been slaving over for a lifetime.
