My first reaction was, "I have no idea how she got that from the image, but it's good." <br /><br />Lovely piece, Lillie. Unfortunately we've probably all experienced that "whistling" soul who is just grateful to get out of a relationship. You've tapped into something universal.<br /><br />--FCA.K.

You described wonderfully how the characters' home had suddenly become just a stack of bricks and mortar --"a tomb for memories" is an exquisite line--, and the second paragraph evokes beautiful imagery with the lightning as javelins and the sky being dark and angry. Have I mentioned that I love your way with words, Lillie?<br /><br />Oh, and I agree with you and Gill: the weather's discrepancy with the way we feel inside can be devastatingly cruel. I'm very happy you began your piece with that.<br /><br />/ RainRainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853997873870014947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6718102081989047461.post-61437664136324132362011-11-24T22:33:59.265-05:002011-11-24T22:33:59.265-05:00Oh WOW!
