Hers…… By s.s.
From the mercurial hands of fate
she reclaims her ifs and maybes
laces her shoes and packs a bag
whistles her favourite tune
while she hides a smile
because she knows
all next days

Welcome to, Reena’s Xploration Challenge!
Reena has offered us a lovely picture to serve as inspiration (my cover). My submission comes from watching too many catfish episodes of Dr. Phil …as far as my husband is concerned lol

never seeing you again

Scones
I’m lying on my deathbed, thinking about the good times, like the weans when they were young, and the grandweans too, and the bad times, like when we had to pawn my wooden leg to buy food.
I know I’ve not got long to go, but I’ve still got my sense of smell, so my heart leaps because my Dora, she’s always been so good to me, aye, she’s baking treacle scones, my absolute favourite.
I can’t make myself heard – my voice is only a croak now – so I drag myself out of bed, hop painfully to the top of the stairs, and slide down on my…
