Days of old was all Evan saw when he visited his grandmother’s home. Everything there was created in the century before he drew his first breath. At fourteen history did not mean anything to him yet. He was here only because his mother made him come. She said he never knew how much longer his grandmother would be around. Grandmother tired everything she knew to connect with him, but Evan was unmoved.
Then she discovered his love of science and the way light could be refracted. Her old things were no longer boring as they created some magic.
Love this! You’ve created such a nice connection between child in grandparent in so few words… lovely!
