I Challenge You to Challenge Me to Write

I was playing with google maps today. I was just looking at the Chicagoland area where I live. I started moving out from this area looking at rivers, lakes and parks. Following the rivers I made my way to the Illinois/ Iowa border. Hitting it I followed the Mississippi River down to Hannibal, Missouri and finally to where the Mississippi and Missouri rivers cross. This is the where I grew up. I hit the button turning the map to become a photo. I pressed the image to bring the images closer.. I found my house. I saw the woods I played in . I found my high school and the local Dollar movie theater.
My parents no longer live there. This is the first Christmas where we do not own the house I grew up in.
I found the small creek I used to play in and followed it all the way to the Mississippi River. That river never stops moving neither does time.
