Future Dreams

 by Brooklyn

It was a bright, Sunny day in the gold fields in California, where James Carter was working by the creek panning for gold. He had been there for a few hours already, but his mind wasn’t on finding gold. He couldn’t seem to keep his mind on anything the last few days, because he often found his mind drifting to the future. In a few days, he would ask the woman of his dreams to marry him.

He had never met a woman like Elizabeth before. She was kind, she was generous, she was unlike any person he had ever met. Someone talking beside him brought James back to the present. Elijah Hunt was beside him saying: James, you’ve been swirling dirt around in that pan for 5 minutes now. James smiled, I can’t help it, I just can’t wait until we head to San Francisco  to surprise Beth. Elijah groaned, that’s all you’ve been talking about all week.

James looked at the sun and said, it’s about lunchtime, and I haven’t panned any gold, so let’s go, and after, I think I might go to San Francisco a few days early.

Elijah laughed, you can’t wait just a few more days can you?

James smiled, I guess I just can’t wait to see the look on Beth’s face when I ask her.

And with that, they headed toward the house. After a satisfying but quick lunch, they packed their bags and headed toward the biggest changes of their life’s.

The End.
