Last week was a hit with Kate's honest expression of her feelings, but this week I wanted to share something with you all that shows a different side of her story. Pain.
I don't usually set-up my six, but this needs it. Kate has been told people recreate painful scenes from their lives on the walls . . . Enjoy.
~I walk over to the walls—running my hands across them as I did inside—inspecting some of the distressed art. One in particular stands out more than the others. A woman is impaled in her chest by a stake driven into the ground, a child with a sword in his hand curled at her feet. A dead monster lies next to them both. My hands shake. The person who experienced his mother’s tragic death in such a dreadful way is the one who must have drawn this.~

ReplyDeleteSo very sad, Sarah. :-(
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jessica. Not as romantic as my last six but really captures the horrible details of this world.
The sadness that she felt was so strong, but also very real. I really enjoyed your creative description of her experience at the wall. This six left me with chills. :)

ReplyDeleteThank you, Kristin. :-) Sorry to have given you chills, but if you're like me you probably enjoyed them. haha
