Ravenclaw

Like another blogger said, I won’tContinue reading “Private”

Where the Sun Once Was
Written for https://lifeafter50forwomen.com/category/what-do-you-see/ I observe humans, wondering if they will ever learn their lesson. Mists, where the sun once was.

It never bothered me when I was alive – the destruction in my factories polluting theContinue reading “Where the Sun Once Was”
