2. Where dreams are born
Finn looks at the paintings of the great oceans. Are there really other countries out there?
It was a morning like many others
Grandma looks at Naja …. then she realizes that no children can live this way
Suddenly a light glows in Grandma’s eyes
Hurry! get on your clothes Finn! Today we go on a trip.
They sail to the island at Brindleton Bay and soon we see two children playing with the sand
Even Grandma builds figures in the sand
Finn eagerly helps Grandma finish the sand sculpture
Now Grandma carries Naja in her arms….. Come on Finn! I must show you something …
Grandma walks fast and Finn has to run to keep up
Now they stand on top of the lighthouse
Finn looks at Grandma. He sees how free and happy she looks
Now grandma tells about the countries behind the big sea and about how she has always dreamed of traveling out and experiencing what is hiding out there…
Naja senses the light mood and runs eagerly to Finn
You and I Naja! I will always take care of you…. I promise you!
When it starts to rain, Grandma takes the kids to the museum
Now she’s taking out the packed lunches
After eating, Finn looks at the map, at the wall
Are there really other countries out there?
Naja is satisfied and she has fallen asleep on a bench
Finn looks at the paintings of the great oceans
Grandma tells stories and smiles and tells again
That day, Finn begins to dream

Finn has such a happy smile at the end of the chapter. Grandma’s really doing her best, despite her sadness over losing her child. There’s something really emotional about the way you make these chapters. I hope Finn and Naja have some happy memories of their grandma, at least.

They have a lot of good memories about their grandmother and Finn is strongly attached to her 🙂

So was the last chapter a flash forward?

I like the little details. Like Naja running into Finn’s arms. So sweet. and I’m glad Finn is smiling at the end. The last chapter was too sad but this is cheerful.
