Am I throwing shade
or seeing the light of day?
No matter, farewell.
Ironically after a long absence I’m back! Thanks to Linda for a fun SOCS challenge. Channeling my (not-so-inner) frustration and anger felt good!
Good Riddance

Dreaming of freedom.
Thoughts of bacon are banished.

first light
shimmering and new
too luminous to conceal
dawn’s first light rises
Thanks to Sue and her #writephoto challenge.
New day. New hope!
fate denied
the valley hidden
we laugh as we reach the peak
denying our fate

Climate Storm v. Storm Windows
She wondered whether the storm windows would hold. They were meant to keep out bad weather, not … well whatever was falling from the sky. It was funny she used to think the end of the world would come later. After she was gone. Not when her dreams were finally within her grasp.
It wasn’t fair. She had done everything right. And now. Now the sky was literally falling.
Lost in thought, her mind barely registered the hissing as the bubbles burst through the window pane.
As the drops burned through her flesh, her mind screamed “It’s not fair!”
Thanks to Carrot Ranch for the inspiration for this 99 word story.
Climate change is real and it’s going to destroy us if we don’t change our path.
