Helene - Galileo's Adventure Part 1 - Atmosphere


Arms flailing through the thick air

Thick as molasses

Thick as thieves

Galileo Figaro is not fooled by the eagle in the pond

He is fooled by the soft twinkle of the tuba’s blow

As he runs past the fountain

He sees Eris holding his prize

He leaps over the pile of leaves

And stops short

There’s a feeling in the air

This is not what he thought it was

Helene, age 16
