“A place where a clock's minute and hour hands spread away from its face, flapping like wings. A place where he'd pluck a daisy and watch the petals whirl like the propellers of a helicopter.

Where colorful fruits on a tree would burst into flight, and new ones would perch in their place.” TreeWingsFlightClockSandPetalsFruitsImaginationsDaisySimilesHelicopterPropellers Book:Beyond the Laughing Sky Source: Beyond the Laughing Sky
