Homemade Glass

by Lauren Hallstrom

 

I have a friend who lives in a snowglobe—

every day she cleans her side of the glass. She has built herself a town there; you can go ice skating or order a bakery cake or connect to Wi-fi. She is her own architect and cake-baker and postmaster. Every day she sweeps the snow from her garden to find the colors beneath. She doesn’t mind being kept separate because she is kept clean. She cannot contaminate herself. She likes to sip her tea and look out her window, and every so often a hand descends from the sky,

and gives her world

a shake.
