The tales of Little Felton

Little Felton was the smallest of the Felton family, not only in age but in height as well. What she lacked in height however, she made up for in personality. She’d chat to anyone who would listen, in her characteristic, high-pitched tone – of her adventures with friends, and thoughts on life.

From a young age Little Felton was strong on what she believed – she was a self proclaimed ‘vegetarian who ate sausages and bacon’, and was firm on that point despite everyone’s efforts to tell her that wasn’t a ‘thing’.

Little Felton’s favorite two phrases were: “Love your shoes”, and “I goes where people goes” – both of which gave her parents some type of insight into what was to come in the future.

Little Felton idolized her sister. Find Sam and you’d find Nicky – for her bigger sister Sam was her best friend, and if there ever was one thing that Little Felton hated the most; it was being alone.

Her short stature, high pitched tone, curly hair, charming chatter, and chubby face all earned her an adjective she particularly disliked – ‘cute’. In Nicky’s dictionary, the term ‘cute’ was be-litteling, not fit for her strong and authoritative nature she tried so hard to project particularly when calling herself a ‘vegetarian who ate sausages and bacon’.

Little Felton found joy in the smallest things which was quite fitting considering her size. She collected trinkets and treasures from the shores of the beach, flowers from the garden, and tadpoles from the ponds. Every treasure she found HAD to be shown to her mother, before being left around the house and forgotten about for a few days, to then be re-discovered with the same interest as the first time around.

Ironically concidering her love for shoes, she was rarely sighted wearing any. She ran, bare footed along the dirt paths, unsettling the dust on the dirt roads which connected the mix-match of homes on the Island. Each flat footed step brought her closer to new adventures had with friends.

She’d run everywhere, partly because she was always full of energy, and partly because she hated being alone – the quicker she could get from the company of her family to the company at her friends house, the shorter the time spent alone.

Adventures waited around every corner.
