The road is gently sloping, not steep. She’s breathless.
A little tightening, that’s all. No elephants, no terrible radiance. Not severe, nor crushing. Barely squeezy. It will stop when I rest.
She does. It does. She returns to her book and wine.
She’s not the betting kind, but she gambles.
Kassy is trying to be a part-time writer in Colorado. Her work is featured mainly under a pile of tears and rejection notices.
Terrific economy of words. Clever use of “gambles” that carried the lightness of suggested gambols. My ideal 50WORD.
Dry those tears and keep going! You’re onto something! Xx
Way to go, Kassy!
