The Lost Witch
The Lost Witch
“Giggling to herself, Carole pushed off and swam towards those pulsing rainbows. A ribbon snaked past and as she caught hold, pulling it close, she inhaled deeply, and sneezed.
She winced as streaks of orange light splashed across her eyes, bleaching the familiar dream from her mind. Pulling the blanket from her face, she sat up and groggily rubbed her nose.
From the next room over, the sound of her father-not's regular breathing tugged hypnotically, lulling her back towards slumber. She flo...pped onto her pillow, turning away from the window, and closed her eyes. But instead of sleep, her mind flooded with images of the previous evening, and seeping in with them came the bitter realization that today was butcher day and Runt and Smoky were gone.
A cold lump formed in her belly. She pulled her knees to her chest but the mass remained. Despite her fatigue, she struggled to her feet, dressed quietly and left the cottage. Hal would understand.
Outside a chorus of birds were welcoming the dawn, but Carole scarcely heard as she turned her back to the barnyard.MoreLess
