I have read this a few times.
As I read I feel there are unsaid things here.
A small girl is sitting very still as her step father takes her holiday pictures.
Fear and insecurity is felt by the reader from the child.
There is something about the step father that isn't right.
She is being hurt somehow and this picture is bringing back those memories.
Think how she feels now. There are times at night when she feel afraid and unsafe.
Read the last paragraph.
She how she found no fear in something as dangerous as a scorpion when younger.

Lets suppose we have a man in love with someone but is afraid to take that step.
Certainly knowing full well it could ruin their relationship if they are just friends.
So the letter sets there waiting to be given?
When will it be the time?
How long will he wait?
It probably helped to write it down but still the words and emotions still exist in his heart.
To him admitting his feelings might be like stepping off the ledge of a building; they cannot be taken back and the damage will be done.
Then, suppose he finally gets up the courage to open his heart and finds a willing heart to seize it.

Our author reminds us that unhappy people aren't happy unless they can spread their negativity around.
To see someone smile, they tend to find some story to take the smile away.
So lets see, you could be sad, unhappy, full of despair and depressed and listen to them ruin your day.
You could take an alternate direction and walk your way in a good frame of mind and love life as it is.

No matter what part of the world we reside in money is what keeps us going.
We work hard and unfortunately seem to get more in debt.
We try to cut back on things but still the prices keep going up.
Eventually we might have to turn to bankruptcy out of desperation.
The piece mentions how some might try different alternatives. Stealing and even robbery.

Our author brings us a piece about bubbles and how they can be fun.
We all remember when we were children playing with them. Making as many as possible and even chasing them to pop them.
Bubble bath is mentioned; nice thought.
I remember playing with my grandson last summer and he had a bubble blower. The kid in me came out. I admit it wholeheartedly.
Be a kid again or just be silly but most of all have some fun.
Smile, just feel good and a bit free if only for a short while.

Our author shares a tribute to the friends at WDC.
There have been times when some of us have reached out to comfort him.
We offered some needed hope on a cloudy day.
We gave reassurance that things would brighten with the new dawn.
We have shared his tears and smiles. All the while valuing his friendship.
We care because we know he cares and is there for us.

The author shares a vision of the changing seasons.
A single leaf holding on for dear life as those around fall and become part of the circle of life.
The dreams of saying steadfast as if hangs on a limb. The warmth that has sustained it and the gentle rains that nourished it are gone.
As hard as it tries to fight changes; they still come.
One could picture this being about a person.
Moving through the seasons. Enjoying the warmth and dreaming freely.
Then comes the winter of life and it begins to show its vulnerability.

Look at those that took a small idea and built a dream. They have done a lot of work in science and technology, but there is still more out there.
Looking at the cosmos, knowing we still know so little, is only a small brick in a large bridge to the future.
Take your knowledge and use it well. Find something to help medical research.
Search for ways to harness the suns energy.
Maybe even find the way to create world piece.
Anything is possible if you have the desire to dream.

Last night was a special night for a couple.
They sharing their feelings and made promises. They assured each other of their loyalty and honor.
There were different questions asked last night and answered.
Those particular questions could mean the new dawn will be filled with limitless tomorrow for them.
He asked her and she said yes.
Bonded together for all the rest of the days of their lives.
Thank you for sharing.

Couples in love are mentioned throughout the piece. They share magic moments while the moon looks on and knows more than they do.
The moon sings, calls to them, cries for them, and sighs knowing what will happen eventually.
A poet is a wandering soul. The loves he embraces become his muses and as they are used up the poet will move on.
Telling his stories and sharing his art with others.
There have been times when a poet might be compared to a minstrel. Singing his songs to all those who will listen and then move on.

In this piece we have a woman who has endured abuse and this night is just another night.
Our author gives her 'courage' a voice.
While her courage had been weak in the past. Tonight will be different.
This happens after a while. The abused person eventually has had enough. They muster up the courage to fight back.
It's either fight or flight. Either way she might secure her freedom and peace.
Being out of the environment of pain is what matters.
Her courage is ready and willing to stand up with her no matter what.
Thank you for sharing

Two lovers realize that things have changed. Now comes the time to decide whether to continue or move on. Both have dreams and thoughts of turning away. This choice is going to be hard. Apparently there is no hostility between them; they just know it's time.
Either stand their ground or follow the path of their dreams.

She has been hurt deeply and consequently she is very depressed. She has a mental picture of herself wrapped in bandages as if she were a victim.
Who will rescue her?
She tries to deal with this situation but she feels trapped.
Silence is the only control she has. She can't find the courage to free herself. She won't allow anyone to pick her apart.
Those that know her should understand something is wrong.
She shouldn't have to fight for herself alone. Where is the love?
Where did it go?
Who caused her this trauma that keeps her hidden inside herself.

Here we have a woman doing some soul searching. She was married and now is involved with someone else.
She looks at a simple cup of coffee and she begins to analyze the contents. Granted it's coffee but lets suppose she means life itself.
Lets looks at the coffee/life in the marriage. As she thinks she remembers how strong it was and how long it lasted.
Now, lets look at the new relationship and how the coffee/life is very different and not quite what she thought she wanted.
The fact she thinks of the marriage; shows she must still feel something and need something she is missing.
Well, she is at a crossroad, should she stay or go back home?

Our author brings us a piece about a wizard that looks out for abused children. As the story goes on it has all the makings of a fantasy. There is a crystal ball and a man who takes the little ones tears away.
Well, as the piece continues reality raises it's ugly head. There is no wizard and no one is going to look after those abused children except me and you.
Don't turn a blind eye to the signs.
Listen to them when they talk.
Watch them when the walk.
Look for marks on their little bodies.
Watch for them to seek isolation from other children.
Don't ignore the cries behind closed doors.
Call someone with authority to step in.
Those little souls shouldn't suffer but should be happy and smile.
Think how much a kind caring heart could mean to a lonely hurt little child.

Oh my goodness.
What an inspirational and motivational piece for this evening.
So full of how we are faced with difficulty in life but yet hope is always there.Reminding us never to give up but fight harder.
Things might seem blacker than black but just on the horizon is a glimmer of light.
It's like a lighthouse for those lost at sea to become the faithful and remember hope is eternal.
He is the rock and keeper of the hopeful flame.
He is beside us regardless of the darkness.
Look to Him.
Thank you for sharing this piece with others.
The picture speaks volumes; so study it. Find the rock in the middle of the vast sea to be something to hang on to through the storms of life.

Where will he be this Holiday Season?
Remindin us to laugh and sing and share.

This is so pretty.
Certainly holds true to the saying behind every cloud is a silver lining.
In essence the hope is there, even if it might be hidden for a while.

Now these two guys should have done a better job of planning.
The box is two small.
The thing they did couldn't be taken back.
They didn't follow directions for the job and one got too carried away. Perhaps he panicked a bit.
Now, they are in a pickle. They have to figure out how to make it fit and dispose of it.
I like the way the dialects bring a good touch to the story.
One yank and one English guy.
Thank you for sharing.

They were working together on a plan. The equipment was securely in their possession.
Going through the contents the lights suddenly went out.
What is the noise, the ground shaking as he put the part of the equipment back in its place.
There is something about to interrupt their assignment.

Here we have two girls messing with a spell book in the middle of a field. One is willing to read the spell and the other has a reason to direct the spell at someone she doesn't like.
They think about it for a while.
Soon the tide changes and they decide to just order a pizza.
Certainly a lot better ending than it could have been. No harm done to anyone. Maybe a bit of indigestion from the pizza. Ha

She is jealous of her sister. Watching her sister get all the attentions from guys is making her envy grow.
Siblings sometimes find they don't get along. There are fights for various reasons.
Our character imagines herself taking her frustrations out on her sister in many ways. Destroying the sisters clothes, pulling her hair, punching her face.
That will get attention from the parents in a very negative way. Grounding for our character, and healing time for the sister.
Imagined retaliation against the sister is all so much wasted emotion.
Perhaps our character should just be herself, accept herself, and work with the things God gave her. She is bound to be pretty in her own way.

Our author is reaching out to those that read his work. He hopes they understand the gut-wrenching effort he puts into every single word.
Though, he at one time, might have lived with blinders on he wants to help open others eyes.
He knows the consequences of listening to those who care not.
He on the other hand does care.
His words might seem harsh or even stark but they must reach the mark.
They must open others eyes to the games people play.
He wants the blinders to come off and the ears to hear the truth.
So many times the truth is masked by lies and, unfortunately, many follow those lies like sheep to the slaughter.

This piece is about predictions and how they can affect others. In this piece our character just knew the world would end.
Sleep is hard to find but disturbing dreams occur.
Then comes the new dawn. The world is still in tact.

She is a writer and having a bit of writers block. She is having a heart to heart with her main character. Placing 90 percent of the blame on the character and putting a guilt trip on him as well.
Apparently there are many chapters to be written and the character, himself, needs some more work. Just a good example of how we create and develop.
Not bad for such a short word limit.
Thank you for sharing.
