I love long drives, racing down the highway with my favourite music barring through the speaker, as the cool breeze blows in my ears. Without a care about the world. It sets me free.

The Proposal #FFFAW #FlashFiction
Maya looked around in awe- she was wonderstruck by the natural beauty. Birds chirped in the distance and the water glistened as the sun shone brightly.

Marie looked at the kids… Continue reading Not quite what it seems #FFFAW #FlashFiction
