Like Freshly Cut Grass (Stand Alone)

I gathered more clippings in my hands, exhilarated with revelations of my past, epiphanies of my love for him. I threw them over my head, feeling them land in my hair but not caring how long it took me to coif it that morning. The moisture rained down on me, like little drops of past. I kicked back the biodegradable bag, pushing my small piles

I love your style of writing and I like the idea of all the memories being connected through the simple task of mowing the lawn. I'm currently reading through your chaptered fic as well so yeah. :)

I loved this completely. At first I was a little unsure of where it was going, but then it blossomed and just made sense

ahaha, it wasn't very logical was it? That was kind of my point. I wanted it to be a messy flow of thoughts until he reached the epiphany

[therapyrequired]

Haha, no it wasn’t but like you said that was the point, and once you read it all through the illogicalness beginning makes sense

Weave. Yes, yes. I'll have to store it into my brain so I can use it more often. I think I talked about magical realism in TFS's chapter seven's comments. Its basically a realist story that 'weaves' in myths, historical facts into it, so there are moments where you're not entirely sure if what is being described by the narrative is happening in the present, or in the past, or if its real at all. Mind bender

thank you:)
I was hoping people could relate to this, the whole thing was kind of messy with the flow, but I wanted it to be like if you were just follow someone's average thought process.

There was a good five seconds where I considered sexy times with like, grass sticking to them everywhere and the neighbours seeing... ahaha, but I felt like it would take away from the thoughtfulness and sweetness of the story.

That was mine too<3. I knew I was going to include it, I just had to work backwards and consider how it would get to that point!
