Submitted to Contest #240

This story relates to trauma and well being. The love of life and acceptance regarding change and moving forward to revolve again with the support and kindness from others.

Picnics on the beach, the odd bottle of iced wine shared with friends. Sunny blue skies with the sea gulls floating by. The waves lapping along coastline with just a slight breeze. Fishing boats bobbing o...

“Lady Bountiful” by Christine LW

Submitted to Contest #239

Rene Devine looked out to sea, from his small studio amid the rocks, he felt at peace to continue his art. People came from North and South to see his work transpire on canvas.

Or if you wanted drama a lifeless body upon the cliff tops with pink grey sky with seagulls circling the air.It had been an inspirational idea to turn his aunt...

Lizzy would throw tantrums runing around in circles till she got her own way. Her parents Edd and Suky Miller felt awkward around their daughter with her chubby cheeks , rosebud lips , corn blue eyes and blond locks.
