Silver Flute

Anna Blass

Submitted to Contest #26

Anna Blass

Submitted to Contest #1

My hand trembles with age as my fingers wrap around a glass of water. I can hear children playing outside, and I push myself up with feeble arms to see the young ones. Once, I had one visit me. Cassandra. She was the highlight of my week. She came in and danced for me, twirling and spinning in and intricate...
