This is for Jesse. Cause she started it.
First Things First
There was darkness, and silence. It seemed to last forever, but Father said it would only be three days. He had no sense of time, so He could only wait.
The first light started trickling into… wherever He was. He followed the wall toward the light, pushing until He felt something give. He was tired, and it took much effort, but finally the rock moved.
He knew she’d be there. He knew, even in death, she would not desert Him. There she was, leaning against a tree, eyes still damp with tears. She was startled, unbelieving. And then she smiled.

I'm getting the pig!
I think you may see her in the mirror again.
This, Juliana.
All of the drabbles this week have been outstanding! Y'all should be published. Seriously.
Who's That Girl
When I was seven, you teased me ruthlessly for wanting long, curly hair just like yours.
When I was twelve, you found a pair of your shoes hidden in my closet and you called me cruel names.
When I was seventeen, you found my secret wardrobe and locked me out of my own house, threatening to call the police if I didn’t leave the front porch.
Without your help or your love, it took me longer than it should’ve to understand who I was. Who I am.
I’m no longer your sweet little Danny-boy. I go by Danielle now, mother.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Nicole! That fucking ROCKS.
Whooooeeeeeeeeeeee!

Very nice, Nicole. Juliana and Ailleann too.

I just sent Roz the link to that. I suspect it may be right up her alley.
