“She was The Core. No one could remember when her reign began. There was no written or oral history to explain it. Had she inherited her position? Was there a coup? An appointment? An election?
When The Young Ones asked these questions of The Elders, they were quashed. She had always been The Core. She would always be The Core. It was meant.”
An excerpt from Archie’s dystopian work in progress.
I take photos. I write. My volunteer job is taking photos of rescued dogs and cats transported by the rescue group whose records I manage. Since working and volunteering don’t leave me a lot of time to write, I’m spending 2017 borrowing from what these dogs and cats are writing. They said it’s okay.
