Life Cycle of Glass

Day Three: Rising from the Ashes-New Life

Seems like these people like making me and all the others wait things out.. I've been just chillin' here with my newly found buddies. A lot of them annoy me, but I'm sure in good time I will become more outgoing. This is the new me everyone! Instead of keeping to myself alone in a little spot by the beach, roasting in the sun, I'm mingling with many others! I need to work on it a little more, I won't lie about that. But there are many beings here just like me, and they all tell me to get comfortable with everyone here too. Word has it that I'm going to go through this cycle a lot more then I thought. Like a never ending spa treatment! But it's for life! I guess I'm grateful, although it will get tiring after awhile. None of the less, I like being a glass bottle. I wonder what I will hold inside of me! I can only sit here and dream.

Day Two: The Butterfly in a Cacoon

I'm patiently waiting my transformation  Finally, like waiting in some waiting room I was picked up from the other sand grains and placed onto a conveyor belt which moved at a solid pace. It wasn't too slow but not too fast, so I wasn't getting sick like others were, but I still was anxious. In huge white letters I could barely sound out the words, it claimed "Limestone" but the other I couldn't see. But it was weird, not everyone was getting dumped into that one area though. Now I'm waiting again in some other huge container. Feels like a spa! It's nice and warm. After awhile I became angered though, because the heat just became too intense for my little being. Why am I so small!? I must have got so angry and hot because I passed out cold! Which is ironic, considering I felt like I was melting away.
Before I knew it, I awoke feeling like a butterfly. I went through enormous changes. I noticed I was quite snug with that limestone I saw earlier! I feel absolutely amazing, and my confidence went up! This whole thing was like a cook-down and marriage between me and a few others. It's exciting, I wonder what will happen next..

Day One: Tremors from Afar

Today began ordinary here in Hawaii. I ended up getting disrupted from my beauty sleep though, nothing too annoying at least. I can't complain because I get to lay here nearby the beach all day. I hate how everyone walks by me, but like I said I can't complain. I'm IN Hawaii!! Today was a little off though, a lot of noises were coming from the lot next door. The noises shook the ground, and I had a lot of ideas of what it could be but I thought nothing much of it.

Before I knew it, I was getting snatched away from my spot. All my sandy buddies were getting gobbled up by this enormous contraption which seemingly purred with joy. I laughed nervously, but I was truly scared out of my wits. As time went by, and as I watched the settings change from beachy dunes to a "Glass Plant". I was nervous to see this place, but word among my friends say that it's not so bad after all. Maybe I'll look pretty!
