I bought this earrings (these*- I speak English) in Valparaiso, Chile from a hippie dude with long, shiny black hair.
He made them out of tree seeds.

While I was there I lived in a 3-story house perched up on a hill. Every weeknight on my way home I'd buy an ice cream, trek 50+ stairs and climb out on the roof where I ate strawberry sprinkles on a stick and dangled my feet over the cars and buses 3 stories below me.

One night I sat above the city lights and you know what?
the entire building started to shake.

There was an earthquake while I sat with my legs hanging off the roof!

I held tight until it was over
but my ice cream was not so lucky.
It dropped thirty feet until it hit the hard, cold pavement.

splat.
