I really enjoyed reading your story, we can almost feel that it was a life experience because you gave it so much feeling that you manage to transmit it to the reader, the scene at school, the memories of a love, the trip, the tragedy and the reunion with a new hope. Without a doubt, it is a beautiful work and it shows the time you put into creating the story.
Thanks for sharing your story.
Excellent Saturday.
There was an old tree stump outside my primary school growing up that was adorned with graffiti... loads of little messages and hearts etc 😂
Then there was a time at high school when my bestie and I used to write messages back and forth to some guys in the year ahead of us... we exchanged the messages on the back row wooden desks of our science lab! Our science teacher suspected us and asked us a few times if we were the ones doing it lol... We never admitted it to her. She was a stressball who once made a hole in the ceiling with an experiment because she got the measurements wrong! Anotehr time she got acid in her eyes and we had to alert other teachers to the emergency. And she shouted at the class all the time 😱. I guess we built up a conscience about it because the following year we offered to sand down desks in another science lab for a teacher that we actually liked! 😂😂😂
I love the mountains - they are my happy place... I always seem to find peace and renewal in the mountains... so I made them Sam's happy place too 🥰
So yes, you are quite perceptive. There are a bunch of little memories and feelings wrapped up into this one. But with my writing, there usually is as I draw from life experience but I try to weave my thoughts and feelings about things into completely different fictional stories. Thank you for enjoying this piece and appreciating what went into it. 🙏💗 !LUV
