The treasure in the fridge by Mietta

By Mietta Postlethwaite, Out Of School

Behind the sealed door of Nanna’s fridge, you will find many curiosities.
Egg salad, half an orange and long-life milk.
In the back, behind the mayonnaise, you can find Nanna’s treasure.
Past memories dance in the cold interior, bound by the plastic container.
Next to the eggs, pickles and tomato sauce lies a slice of the past.
Nanna opens the lid and sniffs, trying to recall the day she first danced in her white dress.
Her memory of Pa is preserved forever.
