She recalled the first two lines of William Shakespeare’s Richard III, a favourite of hers from literature class, back in college: “Now is the winter of our discontent / Made glorious summer by this sun.”

Yes, she thought. But first there has to be a Spring.

And it was her time to bloom…

  1. Hey Sarah, Namaste 🙂

    I adore the fact your prose character thinks of Shakespeare at such a troubling time, and Richard III at that: one wonders if her dream has always been to become a writer? Did she pack the quill? 🙂

    Have a wonderful week. Take care.

    Namaste 🙂

    1. Haha. Thank you! Yes, I imagine being a writer was definitely top of her to-do (or perhaps it’s “much ado”?) list…. now that she’s free, I can’t wait to see her adventures.
      Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful week too 😊
