    I love how this leaves the implication without directly exposing the context! Beautiful, Christy!

    So powerful. You convey so much in so little words. Loved the depth and raw emotion of this one.

  • Shirley Belk2 years ago

    This was great!

  • "Too soon." That was so sad. Loved your take on this challenge!

    Minimalist story telling via text. Very clever and open ended. Like Hannah, I found myself filling in gaps.
