Something New

She sees
the strange surface and
knows that it’s something
wonderful
but terrifying

SCREAM! But wait:
No, it isn’t so bad.
Or is it?
CRASH!
There it is again! Oh no!
Why can’t I tear myself away?

Woosh…fizzle…
*Sigh*
What to do?
She watches with fascination
and fear.
She yells
but she isn’t sure why.

Can I be
excited
and upset
all at the same time?
She wonders.
Will it matter?
Make it stop! No -
make it come back!
Wait! I think
I like it.
Or maybe
I don’t.
I’ll decide…
tomorrow.
