A Fistful of Happiness

One evening, he was walking home from his farm. The fiery eye of the sky sprayed the last golden dust to the horizon before bidding good-bye to the day. Silence reigned all around, interrupted sporadically only by the sound of a cricket or a frog's cry. Suddenly, a bicycle bell rang behind him. Without turning back, he opted to move to the left. The rider hit a pothole, lost control of the vehicle and ran over Campus. Both fell to the ground and, as they looked at each other, they blushed and then broke into a sonorous laughter. She apologized for the accident, but he made nothing of it, helped her to stand up and to dust off her skirt. It was then that a couple of tears fell down her cheeks and ended in the yellow dust. He wiped the tears from her face with his handkerchief and hugged her. A Fistful of Happiness is based on real life situations about our youthful desire for carpe diem, fulfilled dreams, mystery, humor, and the potential to achieve long lasting happiness.
