“Not Your Everyday Librarian” by Deb Broughton

Submitted to Contest #142

When you wake with a smile, every day is a good one. When you love your job, it isn’t work. When you are happy with who you are, you will always be yourself. Did I fit a mold? Oh, no! I guess my taste, my clothes, my hair, and my life was a bit eclectic. Some say I have the soul of a gypsy, the heart of a hippie, and the spirit of a fairy. I tend to agree with it all.     The birds were warbling sweet notes of sunshine. The water in the pond reflected light as though little dia...

“Eye In My Eye” by Deb Broughton

Submitted to Contest #134

As I gazed up into the heavens, into the black velvet night sky, I observed the glittering diamonds of stars, planets, and galaxies, and I felt my excitement begin to rise.  I placed my eye tentatively upon the telescope’s eyepiece. My eye was drawn to the same place I had been watching for quite some time.  There it was again, that flash of reflective light.  A small glint letting me know what I sought time after time, was indeed there now.      I strengthened the Celestron magnification, sharpened th...
