How I love this piece, so rich with imagery. You take the reader into another world, another time, encompassing thought, feeling, color, sadness, and joy, all in a short span of time.
Wonderful!!
It was written for a small week-long contest...word limit was 250 words, and it comes in right under. And I am happy to say, it surprised me and came in first. I really do like how it turned out.
