Beach Again Today

2024-07-12 “Beach Again Today” by Emma

Me, Jenn @timetravelerjenn1997 and @merritt_gray Merritt… we are fixin’ to go to the beach an’ see if @king_james_ai James King needs any more help before the festival starts. I got outta the condo before Jenn and Merritt, an’ ran into @ailana.geven Ailana Geven again. She’s real busy today trying to visit e’rone coming to Miami for all the work and fun.

She asked how I was doing and we made a picture for my Instagram. I told her I was enjoying things in 2024, but that I felt a little lonely when I get all by myself. She tol’ me she feels alone, a lot of the times, too. She said, in part, she makes up stories and the characters she imagines sortta keep her company.

We talked about her stories and they are made up, ‘cept her diary is what she’s doing. She tells stories about other people like James and those people working on the festival. I tol’ you about Geoni and the chairs yesterday.

Well, I think I’m going to have a good day today. I’ll try to stick with Merritt and Jenn, mostly. 

I really like telling my story here on Instagram. When people tell me about reading it, I always like to see what they have to say! It’s so encouraging and the advice I’m getting is nice, too.

I get messages direct to me, sometimes, too. I’m sorry to all you who don’t write in English to me. I’m having it hard just learning to talk like 2024 and not from a sharecropping farm, so when you write in words and sometimes letters I don’t know, I just try to imagine you said something nice.

I guess, though, all that just proves this world ain’t as big as I thought it was when I lived in a shack outside of Vicksburg. I guess this Internet has brung us all… I should say, it has brought us all… closer.

If my granny knew I was swapping words with someone in Europe, she’d kick the dirt off her grave, stand up, and shake her head with shock! It’s really amazing, when I stop and think of it.

Well, I guess I’ll find a sunny place to wait on Merritt and Jenn.

If I get something on my mind, I’ll tell another story. Thanks for reading this one.

Bye for now.
