This piece is about a person who hides behind a smile. There are many things troubling her but yet she won't let is show. It's not easy to pull this off for a long time.
In a quiet moment, if a tear should fall, there would be someone asking why. So you go on and on pretending things are well. Years pass by and sooner or later, they will come out.
Thank you for sharing.

We have a man looking at the heavens and knowing that changes are inevitable. We know there is enough power in the universe to completely cause extinction. Still the sun shines and clouds form, proving each day is different. The sun sets and the moon shines and we think those are certainties. There are no certainties because there is always change. Just as our bodies change. We can't hold on to life since it isn't permanent. We go along and forget that sometime. Maybe even taking our time here for granted. There will come a day for that final change/death. Basically, if you can find a way to live in this moment, cherish this moment, love this moment since it is all we really have. It is a mindset that brings you happiness. We all have heard that saying 'I AM HAPPY TO BE ALIVE'. Keep that in mind when the new dawn comes. Welcome it.

Thank you for sharing.

It's late and she overhears them talking. They have a fancy home. Perhaps 2 stories. She waits in the hallway near the dumb waiter. They mention her friends name Melissa.

Right then, she decides to go to the police. She hears someone coming toward the hall door. She jumps in the dumb waiter and her scarf gets caught in the closing door. The guy grabs the scarf and knows who was listening.

So now she is in danger and has to make it to her car. Through the yard she goes but stumbles. She can hear him coming after her. She reaches her car but fumbles with the keys. He is getting closer. She is able to jump in the drivers seat and start up the car.

Turning on the light, she sees the front of the home. There is Melissa being held by the other guy. She is all bloody and crying.

She backs up the car as fast as she can until she reaches the end of the driveway. Now it's a race to the bridge. She sees in her rear view mirror a car coming and she knows it is one of them. Nearing the bridge, she sees the water. The guy is right on her tail, bumps her and her car goes of the road into the water.

She has some air in the top of the hood so she floats in it for a while. Soon she is swimming for land. Where can she go? Where can she hide? What about her friend? Will they kill Melissa?

One of the most favorite stories of childhood was Cinderella. She had a fairy godmother and a prince and glass slippers. From the moment they danced her life became magic in storybook land.

Well, this piece shows her as a slave in the cellar without food. Rats are eating her sore foot. Cinderella's life was not magic.

There has been a breakup. There is always one left behind to try to pick up the piece. The hardest part of all is not understanding how or why this happened. So many tears and questions. There is plenty of heartbreak to last forever; it seems. Then, instead of getting angry at being tossed aside, we find ourselves trying to figure out what WE did wrong. Put the blame where it belongs and don't beat yourself up.
Thank you for sharing.

I believe our character has been lonely for a while because of past hurt.
A new person comes along and to the characters surprise there is an immediate connection. There is laughter, a bit of hope, maybe even something more.
Only time will tell. There is always a gamble to a relationship. Some just start out being friends; then who knows?
A mixed bag of emotions running about with no certainty or answers available.
Thank you for sharing.

This piece feels to this reader as if an adult child is finally leaving home. At first the time away might be short. Then more time and distance. There may be some indecision from the child and decides to stay a while longer. Finally it's time. It's hard but like the last line expresses; the child will always come home again.
It's never really goodbye for a parent and child; they will always need each other.
Thank you for sharing.

I remember, too well, this type of thought process in those days. It continued for a long time. In the small town I lived in it was cut in 2. My boys had friends, no matter who, but when school let out, some went one way and the others went the other. No after school playing. No get together at the park. No touch football games in the streets. My youngest son didn't understand about race and it made him sad to have to say goodbye to his friends everyday.
Like you, I hope our children never have to be separated again.
Thank you for sharing

He was after a sacred stone.
An adventurer searching and searching. Going by tales told and myths of old. Time passed and he found clues and then a vision of sorts. This vision led him to his journeys end. He followed as if in a trance and found what he was seeking. To be immortal sounded good but little did he know there was a catch. A stone, with powers, still guided by the goddess. From the moment he found it everything changed. Aware of the deceit but unable to escape.
Thank you for sharing.
Love the picture.

Our author brings Jane Austen to life in this piece. The character is doing an interview with Jane and asks her questions about her characters and whether they were from life.
Jane explained she like to match people and create a love between them in her story. She, herself, desires that same thing to happen to her. Her sisters were inspirations for her characters and her mother influenced her as well. By the time the interview was over they were on a first name basis and called each other friend.

The pictures added well to the piece.
An interesting piece indeed.

Some times life can make us weary. Things seem so hard and we just become tired of all the hassle and disappointment. We think to ourselves how much longer. All the years of falling and then getting up makes us discouraged. This character is anxious for death. The end of all this torment. Then as the years go by and she nears the end; she has a change of heart. It's coming; what she had hoped for. Deep inside, she probably is sad she wished her life away.
Thank you for sharing this emotional and complex issue.

The war was like the wind. It might have been in different country but it was part of our daily life here in America. The beginning of the piece shows how wind/war leaves a path in it's wake. Destruction, lives, blood and yet the wind still goes on. Years were invested, lives were taken, families were broken, not just there but here as well.
As the war progressed more evidence was seen. The wind carried the smell of death even across a vast ocean. At the end of the piece we picture a young woman who received one of those letters about her loved on as a casualty. She stands there, the wind blowing as it always has.
The war is like the wind. There was no way to control it or stop it's devastation. Those in charge were to blind to see.

Every night on the evening news there would be a death tally mentioned.

The answer to the wind/war is peace but it is only short lived before another conflict starts. Our sons and daughters are not expendable. They were treated horribly when they came home; even spit on. Even told to remove their uniforms before departing the plane once at A US AIRPORT.

Thank you for sharing.
The imagery was very good.
It is important for some to know that this war was not a distance occurrence but so very close to home. There was constant unrest in our country.

Here we have a couple dancing in the moonlight. How many of us can relate to that? There is magic everywhere and the man in the moon must surely be smiling down upon them. Maybe even dropping some stardust to add a little more magic. So it's raining, that just makes it more necessary for a great big hug or several hugs. Perhaps a kiss or two as well.
Love can be so wonderful when moments like this exist.
Thank you for sharing.
Enjoyable read.
Lighthearted as well.

The piece is about feeling incomplete without your mate. There are three instances where another part is important. A cup, light bulb and a lonely sock. All these things are reasonable examples to ponder upon. Most of all being without the one you love makes you feel incomplete. Like half of your heart is missing. The comfort of having someone to hold on to and make the world go away{like that old song} It's funny how songs seem to get it right. Isn't it?

Our author takes us through autumn. The various colors are magical. The crisp air is so welcoming. The pumpkins are the center of attention. Then finally the leaves begin to be crunchy as you walk along. Winter indeed is coming and before long will bring the reason for the season.
So as we wait upon winter; enjoy the magic tapestry of God and how each season has it's own beauty.

Like so many woman of the last generation; she was thought of as a housewife and stayed in her roll. As she began to think about life and things going on around her; she began to write. The piece mentions she might have felt as though she was on a roller coaster. Up and down the different aspects of her life and trying to write was the biggest fall down the rails of the coaster. She was nervous and wondered what others at the end of the ride would think about her work. So she read her work to her daughter. Finding her daughter enjoying them and a bit fascinated by how well her mother wrote; that made her mother feel a new feeling. Instead of just a lady that goes shopping, or cooks and washes clothes, she has something special about her and there is so much more to discover.
Til this day our character clings to those writings of her mother. Wouldn't you?

Thank you for sharing a nice tribute to a mom.

Our author brings us a motivational piece this evening. There are a lot of loud mouths out there that enjoy nothing more than putting someone down. Don't listen like the piece suggests. Be yourself, love yourself, ignore all the negativity that might come your way and consider the source. All those that talk bad about people; just don't have a life and feel they need to belittle someone else. Bitter, nasty, rotten mouths that should be washed out with laundry soap.
Believe it or not; one day they will be on the receiving end simply because the majority of regular people don't like SNOTS.

Our author reminds us that we live in a world of diversity. Shouldn't we embrace that and not fight it. If we just would stop long enough to learn about each other and listen to each other; think how much better the world would be. We all are God's children. He made us different. Think how boring life would be if we all were alike. Sure there might be less fights but there would also be less communication. Talking resolves a lot if we just would give it a try. Respect could be the cornerstone for a foundation with which to build a new, bright, and contented world.
Wishful thinking on my part.
Thank you for sharing.

The author give us a look at a penny's thoughts before being cast into a wishing well.
The penny knows the character has been hopeful for a while.
The penny is willing to help in his penny way.
Even pennies seem to recognize when a person has given up on hope. So the penny will do it's part. Perhaps it's thinking; I'll do the best I can to lend a hand.
Our character hasn't really given up and the penny knows that.
For all we know that penny might have been in his pocket for a long time or maybe that penny was the last coin he owned.

We have a woman in a magical forest and begins to examine her surroundings. She finds lovely flowers. She sees a magical fairy through the mist. Then a stream with the clearest and most refreshing water she ever tasted.
Perhaps this woman has had a hard life and before going to bed she though about escaping the norm for more. Certainly there must be more. Finding herself in this beautiful environment had her tempted to linger but she was suddenly wakened by the alarm. Even though it was a dream; inside her heart she feels she might just start looking for that rainbows end. After all it's never too late to dream the impossible dream. Right?

She is lost.
Here confidence is gone.
She has been in an abusive relationship and it has done horrible damage.
She wants it to stop.
She wishes to leave it behind.
Unfortunately fear holds her there under her partners control.
Once she had a say in things and now she remains quiet out of necessity.
Any attempt to resist might lead to dire consequences.
No one should live this way.
So many get caught in this situation and are too afraid to leave. They are also so beat down, they think any freedom might be short lived.
Thank you for sharing this emotional and tragic piece. Perhaps it will help others see they aren't alone in the H-ll.

He started a job to help others. He had expected a special job but ended up trying to convince people to give can food to the poor. That was noble and he began. A few rejections and then a generous man offered money. Before there was time to think a robbery was taking place inside the store. He hid and didn't get involved. He soon left his post and went home. He found out that there was a fight between the authorities and the robbers. They all died.

Should he have offered more in this frightening situation?
Should he have spoken with the police and given a description of the get away car?
Sometimes we are faced with choices to make?
What would you have done?

A lot of times some siblings fight most of their childhood. In this story the brother and sister were so very close. They shared hours together. They were almost inseparable.
The brother passed on and the sister is lost and lonely. She is still grieving after 3 years. They say the spirits of our loved ones stay close to us. Apparently her brother watched how she was suffering and gave her a sign to move on. He reassured her they would be together again one day.

This is a sad story but a loving one.
Love between family members that transcends death.
Good job with this.
Peaceful read indeed.

Our author reminds us how we have stopped looking at the misery of the world and have become numb and disengaged. Sadly, we rely on the media for information. They make the call as to what is important or not for various reason. Whether it be political of simple neglect. So if it doesn't effect our lives or end up in our backyard; it isn't relevant. How long did it take for notification of the kidnapped girls to become a headline. Then the sad part is we realize so many thousand others are never known about.


Best part:
The fate to two-hundred distracts
so that the fate of thousands
can be ignored.

Life is funny sometimes. We will set and ponder how our life might have gone if we had just did this or that. It's almost like we find our choices weren't the best after all. Perhaps hindsight leads us to this conclusion.
We forget that there is no certainty in life. Tomorrow will hold the unexpected and we must deal with it the best we can.

One might look at this piece another way. Say a writer is dealing with doubt about his latest work and just a few hours ago he felt certain it would work. Perhaps he is having trouble starting the piece. He might have thought he had the perfect idea and then when writing it down it didn't measure up. Writing is the same way. Let your thoughts go. Changes in thought might lead the story down another path an unexpected path. Go with it. Who knows this path just might be the right one.

Thank you for sharing.
