Well written, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this.

Superb imagery. A captivating piece that had me hooked from "My Airwalks are the color of a cotton candy sky, and I ache for days where I felt powerful enough to fly". Really a very enjoyable read with wonderful metaphors that grip the imagination. Milly x

thoughts, feelings and reality...truly a touching write
yet beautifully penned.

Congrats on the Win!

Very vivid images and feelings are conjured in me by this. Really enjoyed reading it and being transported into a sniper of life.

Judge's Comment

With metaphors and similes as kindling, this freeform burns with truth and honesty. She tells us about her world, as she sees it. The quiet girl at the library who doesn't talk, and who would notice? It's the library! A mother who feels for her child. A father who can't hide his feelings. She's in her safe place sipping coffee and, in her own way... She's letting us in.
