details in the fabric

I’ve worn this set of earrings everyday since I bought it and had my ears pierced in 2004. However a few days ago, one of it strangely got lost. I found it weird because I was sure that it was complete when I placed it beside my glasses the night before. I was apprehensive that I may not find it due to its extremely small size; and that since I’ve bought it a long time ago, I may not be able to find something that looks exactly the same. Taking the strangeness to the next level, my mother actually found it outside our house! She said she was sweeping scattered leaves just in front of our house when she noticed the tiny thing shining on the ground. She knew about my lost earring so she got really giddy upon finding it. I’m guessing that someone accidentally pushed it away then it probably got stuck on his or her shoe, then ended up outside our house. What’s surprising is that four rainy days have gone by before it was found and it still, it stayed within our area.

Oh, the powers of the universe. Haha~
