Love “Every Star has a Story” by Anne Anthony! It captures the age of a girl on the edge of growing up perfectly. The desire and frustration. The end line gave me chills. Well done!
Thank you, Susan. Appreciate your kind words!
I loved Anne Anthony’s “Every Star Has a Story” about a young girl’s coming of age. The walkabout was a lesson perfectly learned.
Sharon — Thank you. Glad you appreciated the walkabout lesson. Always dreamed of doing one myself.
Lydia Armstrong is simply amazing…
Thank you, Monica!
Anne Anthony’s “Every Star Has a Story” does what flash fiction is supposed to do–gets you there fast and leaves you images to savor, afterward. Kudos!
Emily — Such a dear comment! Thank you so much!!
I also loved “Every Star Has a Story” by Anne Anthony. It was so in the body and the descriptions were so visceral that I could feel everything happening.
Emma – Glad you liked the ‘in-th-body’ experience! Thanks for your comment!!
