Burnt

Remember yesterday, when your home was on fire and you got to save five items? That means you left a lot of stuff behind. What are the things you wish you could have taken, but had to leave behind? I overpack, and I hoard. There are a lot of things inside our room that I... Continue Reading →

Burning the House Down

Starting today, I am starting something I should have done a long time ago—write every day. This has been a challenge given my job and my shift, and it was a good thing I found The Editors 365 Writing Prompt. This is my response for today’s prompt.
