LJ Idol: Week Ten - Icarus

[ckocher]

Watching her fly used to be such an innocent thing. I remember when she would gleefully follow me into some mischief or another. We’d gang up on our younger brother in the pool, or watch MTV in the summer, dancing around in the living room or making weird choreography to go with the music. She would laugh and smile and dance with her arms

Whoof.

What a gutpunch.

[ckocher]

Thank you.

As alephz said-- total gutpunch. I love how you constructed this, it's not too thick to get through, but not diluted enough to miss the emotion and tragedy.

My writing has been focused lately on trying to convey the story through shorter pieces, so I'm glad this worked for you. Thank you!
