The Subway Shop by Carol Eliassen

I had an assignment for one of my classes where I was suppose to visit a place and then write about it.  I was picking up subway sandwiches for my daughter's family so I decided to write about my experience while there.  It is amazing what we experience but never really notice consciously.  Here is the very short story.  I hope you enjoy!


The door opened out towards the sidewalk with the smell of fresh baked bread seemingly floating in the air. The smell had a mixture of fresh herbs and multi-grains.  I wasn’t really hungry until that door opened and the smell hit me in the face.  I was hooked and the strong scent was reeling me in.

The walls were decorated with overly large red tomatoes, green peppers and a scrumptious loaf of bread.   Jazz and love songs played from the overhead speakers as if to have you fall in love with the place. 

I hurried up to the counter anxiously waiting my turn as a mother with two young children tugging at her skirt stood gazing at the huge sandwich she was having made.  All the colors that were noted on the wall were all on her sandwich.  That was what I wanted.  I wanted it all. I felt like an Artist with an empty palette and I planned on adding every color into a splashed collage inside my bun! 

A young boy and his Dad lingered at the door but as soon as it opened you could tell by the look on their faces they were being reeled in too.

What About You?

What About You? You may have free will,  that is true. Picking your path  without a clue.  You look to your own device knowing  you will only gain the world.  I can't emphasize enough that  in the end it will fade like a mural.  Your eyes are closed as  the world draws you in.  I can pray for you, but without God  my words just melt in the wind.  You sow what you reap.  We all do, be it for good or evil.  The difference you may ask  is not what equals.  The difference is God,  the rapture is true,  we shall ascend, but  what about you?  There is a slim chance  on a tribulation date,  you will have to sacrifice your body  on God's holy slate.  You can ask him to save your soul  in a world filled with fool's gold. Your reward will be to enter the gates  made of pearls but void of hate!  Eternity is my goal.  I want to take you as I go.  Don't hesitate to preach the love  as the Holy Spirit makes you bold.  Go in true love. Go in peace.  Listen to the WORD  and eternal lif

I Can't See You

I can't see you,   but I know you are there.  I feel you with my hands  when I touch what you have made.  The world is full of your creations, we should all be amazed! I can't see you,   but I know you are there.  When I'm alone,  I know you are with me  I feel your presence in the air, the water, the breeze in the trees, the aroma from the flowers, and the miracle of the tiny seeds.  I can't see you,   but I know you are there.   I see the birds fly across the sky,  I see the water move in waves,  I see what your hands have made I even looked in the mirror and saw the miracle you molded in my mother's womb. I can't see you,   but I know you are there. I hear the birds chirping outside,  they are music flying in the sky.  No need to clothe or feed  for your hand I do not see  keeps them filled, clothed, and free. I can't see you,   but I know you are there.  The creatures so small,  and under a microscope detailed in a complex look  which only a Creator coul
