Writing
No word back yet from the magazine about my short story, although I shouldn't expect to hear anything for a couple of months. The vampire story is up to 2,269 words and slowly rolling right along. The novel remains on the ZIP disk, mocking me.
"Escape"
A gentle breeze
comes out of the west
as she opens the suitcase.
Song birds chirping
in the trees outside
echo through the empty rooms.
The hearty smell
of freshly cut lawns
drifts over the packed boxes.
Warming sunshine
reflects off the glass
of framed pictures left behind.
Tasting freedom
in the summer air
she shuts the door behind her.
