Meagan Wilder: A Short Story
The summer I spent with her was beautiful, every day was precious. We always spent time nestled up on the couch; it was something special and it was better than any beach trip or pool party that everyone was participating in. The summer of love may have been in 1967, but with her it was in 2016. She had a touch that was as warm as hot chocolate and her skin was as smooth as silk her hair was as wavy as the earths many rivers. Her eyes were beautiful and a lovely dark brown. I was in the presence of a Goddess, and her name was Meagan Wilder. She was 5’7 and the best thing I had ever seen walking in a sundress and sandals.
To see her in sundresses was a sight to behold I remember begging her to wear them every chance she could just because I loved the way it fit her. She sported a long olive green sundress which was my favorite it stopped a few inches above the ankles and didn’t show too much or too little, leaving few things to the imagination. Meagan never liked to look bad she loved make up she didn’t care if it was a family reunion or a

Her mom is her best friend and anyone who attempts to come in between that may be in for a rude awakening. Meagan and her mother have been inseparable since her birth.

As stressed as she was she continued to stay strong and continued to stick by her mother’s side , even when things took a turn for the worst. It hurt her because the thought of going to sleep and not knowing if her mother would be there the next morning frightened her. For her to fight through was just astonishing. She continued to stay strong and to pray even on the worst of days she would never break. Every day her mother was in the hospital was a test of her

    Many young women struggle transitioning from teenage years to adulthood, and for Janie Crawford this was a sudden transition since her grandmother arranged her marriage at such a young age. Although marrying at such a young age of sixteen for money, is not prevalent in today’s society, finding true love is. And in fact it was a hardship in Janie’s life until she was in her late thirties.

    On a spring day in West Florida, Janie spent the afternoon lying under a pear tree. The delicate serenity of nature filled her with sheer contentment and delight. In a dream like state, “through the pollinated air she saw a glorious being coming up the road” that in “her former blindness she had known as shiftless Johnny Taylor” (11). Janie’s romantic visions are reflected by springtime. At sixteen years old, Janie, herself, was blooming into a woman. In a trance, Johnny Taylor became the target of her infatuation.

Just as Johnny Taylor kisses her, Janie’s grandmother, Nanny, wakes from her nap and catches the two under the pear tree.

    I wanted to be there be in the Florida sun and feel what Joe had been talking about for the last week. He had told me and mom that when we reach Florida you can taste to oranges in the air and smell the ocean for miles away. Mom sat in the front seat, she was beautiful, the envy of the whole town all the men stared at her as she walked by. She is tan, skinny, and toned, her long blonde hair tumbled down her back in perfect curls almost making the effect of a waterfall. The way she carries herself, the way she could light a cigarette with one swift motion. Then there was Joe, he reminds me more of a Ken doll, he had big muscle that showed through his shirt and he had short hair from the war together they were like beauty and the beast. Then there was me people always told me I was beautiful but until last summer I never notice that when people said I was beautiful they just lumped me together with me mother, it kind of went like “ Sure your beautiful kido, look where you came…

    Looking back to the class of 1941, the year I graduated I now see that I was an immature 18 year old that had no idea what to do in life. I had always thought I knew where I wanted to go the whole time, but now I see there was someone anchoring me to the small town of Pebbles, Pennsylvania, and that someone was no other than Ariel Sacator. Ariel was the most outstanding young woman in Shores County. I had the largest crush on her ever since primary school, and she had one on me. We were made for each other, and everyone in Pebbles knew it too. There was only one issue with Ariel and I: I didn’t believe in love. Everyone in Pebbles was at least on their 2nd or 3rd spouse, which didn’t give me much comfort, knowing I was most likely doomed…

    I want to tell myself everything that I wish I would have known sooner; however, I never do. Although it is a painful wound that seeming will never close, I do not wish to change the past. Everything happens for a reason, and I do not want to put my own selfish desires, before God’s plan. As I talk to the young man, I pretend to be someone else. I go by the name Jon. I listen and remember as he pours out his heart to me, like he always does when I have this dream. “So, Jon, have you ever been in love?” With a smirk on my face, I know exactly where this conversation is going. It used to hurt to talk about Anne. At first, I couldn’t even bring myself to have the conversation, but now, it is my favorite. “Do you mean with a woman, or myself?” Shmuel leans back, balancing his chair on its two back legs and laughs, “Don’t play with me old man.” Shmuel’s words are playfully cruel. His defiance and rebellion brings back vivid memories of when he was young, playful, and dumb. I neatly fold my hands together on the table before us, and wait. I listen to all he has to say about the love of his life, Anne. He talks about her fiery red hair that matches perfectly with her attitude, about the freckles on her nose, and about the way she sometimes snorts when she laughs. He tells the story of how he took her boating on their first date and how the boat had flipped over. Shmuel had thought that the date was ruined, but to his…
