A Gathering
Written by Stephanie and Emily on Monday, June 6th, 2022
There's a lot of people. Let's see -- it looks like they're having a party, and the party is all different kinds of -- well, there are pies, and there's a lot of other stuff, too. It looks like there are a lot of people in the background. There's a million people that are squeezed in there -- probably waiting to go get the goodies! There are two people up at the table. The one behind the man with the plate, he's waiting to get something and put it on a plate -- but there's other things! Waffles, it looks like someone brought in waffles -- and pie! There's two people looking. The one in the front is going to the right. The other man is going the other way. They know each other -- the two of them, they're taking their turn to get what they want, because there are a lot of people waiting. In the background, I think there are children, and one of them is sitting on a table -- the other one is sitting at the table, but farther down. And still, there are a lot of people in the background! I think they're gathering, but I don't think it's for some special reason... well, they're just gathering. I don't think they're smiling, or talking to each other. They don't know each other. Maybe, but I don't think they do. There are some wearing baseball hates, but they're not there together -- it's just a coincidence. It smells very good here. It smells like somebody baked all those things, and it smells delicious! The waffle is next to the guy on the left -- he's taking a plate, but he's pointing to another pot on the table. The waffle is on the other side of the guy. He's thinking, "This looks like I'm gonna really like it!" He's I think Hispanic, he's dark of hair and complexion. Maybe everybody from his country, where he comes from -- all those people are there from Latin America. Really nothing else is going on here. I don't even know if they're there for the food. There are much more people than food! I think they are going back into the crowd, to go back to what they were talking about -- I don't know what it was. The one thing that's odd is this baby, or child, that's sitting there on something, and I don't think anyone is watching them. There's a little child down by the tabletop thinking, "Where's my mother, and I want some of that waffle!" After this, everybody goes home. Little by little, the people will, one-by-one, get their piece of the pie, then turn around and go home.
