This weeks prompt was "Shade."
I never noticed how oppressive the Oklahoma sun could be as a little girl.
I frolicked through magical fields with elves and fairies, so what did the heat matter to me?
While adults took shelter in the AC, sipping their entirely too sweet tea,
I was shaded by my imagination.
What can I say, I was feeling nostalgic tonight. I really should learn to write, or at least post things, during the day when more people are awake to read them. I read somewhere that there are "optimal posting hours." I just can't seem to keep myself from hitting that post button as soon as I finish something, and it's sooooo much easier to write when the rest of the house is asleep. But oh well, it's 5 o'clock somewhere right? :p
Thank you for reading <3
