Lighting

I am creating this story with the help of a random word generator which comes with random words which help me create my next story because i like the challenge of putting the words in one story.  My words are restaurant, adoption, and copper.  

The noises of the restaurant were a low rumble but it provided a great background to drown out your worries for a little while.  Why is it that your worries always show when you’re trying to enjoy something fantastic.  I guess that is the condition of being human is the official diagnosis.  I was worried about the adoption that was hopefully going to happen today.  All the paperwork done and double checked all the checks done.  Would it really happen today.  That is why I am at this restaurant because it is my favorite treat.  They have the best steak made from local and grass fed cows.  It was pricey but worth it especially on such a special day hopefully.  It is that worry you feel about when you think you forgot something.  

I put this all to the back of my mind and enjoy this delicious meal with sweet potatoes as a side with cinnamon on them.  I have mindless chatter with my table mates but i am not really here unfortunately i am thinking about the worries i am trying to get away.  Worries just make it worse and get in the way of doing things.  Getting things done is a cure to worries sometimes.  If we could bottle that then I would be very rich.  Why can’t I just enjoy this moment.  Well i guess i better finish this delicious meal and get to the next thing i have to do.  

The building looked like it used to be a shoe shop, not very much room in the front but tons of space for all those shoes.  This has been changed into a wonderful space for the animals that were up for adoption.  Dogs and Cats waiting for a forever home to bring too.  It kinda put all my worries in perspective.  I already know who I have picked and have spent a few minutes with them already.  A long haired cat with an orange coat named Copper.  His name suited him because he was darker than most orange cats.  I take him home in his temporary togo box but I have a permanent on order but the mail is so slow these days.  I get home and introduce him into his new environment and let him explore.  I am in the kitchen putting his water and food bowl out.  Copper scurries off to find all the hiding places.  I hope he does hide all the time but his worries are much larger than mine.  I go to set up at the couch while I figure out what is for dinner.  I put a french bread pizza in the oven.  I let copper wonder around and find his litter box a success.  I turn on some news and prepare for bed.  Hoping my worries won’t follow me to sleep.  

I am in bed with my sound machine making ocean wave sounds and occasional whale sound.  I can never figure out the pattern.  I make it off to slumberland.  This time it feels different and I sense an orange ball of light.  It kinda looks like Copper.  I hear these words relax human. You are safe here in dreamland.  I ask are you Copper.  That is my human name but my real name is lighting but that is not important you can call me either.  I am here to stop those worries you have and quiet the noise.  I picked you to help and adopted you into my pack.  You will be free and you will run wild with your pack in dreamland.  Lighting led me into a grassy plan and we ran free on a neverending landscape.  We ran fast and played with giant balls of yarn.  It was the most fun I had in a long time.  

I woke up feeling good but I don’t remember why but I think I am going to call Copper by a new name Lighting.  I don’t know why i can’t remember anything but I feel good and the worries seem to be gone.  I don’t know but I am going to enjoy my day and I must remember to feed lighting who seems sleepy but comes for his breakfast.  He rubs my legs in a thank you and I feel I should thank him but I don’t know why.  Well I must go out enjoy this beautiful day.
