This piece is intertwined with love and heartbreak. Had me feeling a cascade of emotions. I love feeling no matter what it may be. 🙂

Thank you, Carisa! It is based on a news story I read a long time ago that has never quite left me.

Oh my! That is gut wrenching.. I know those news pieces well. When I read something that moves me either good or bad I tend to recall it often and analyze it. It’s hard to understand somethings, isn’t it!? This was brilliantly written.

Dark, bitter and leaves the reader distressed and in pain for the stolen days that did not have to expire so soon. The descriptions are acute. I love how you keep returning to your archetypes, and how you perfectly use the light and darkness to project this calamity washed by the creek.
