Sharing from The Drabble

"Bridges mean nothing to those with wings..." love that line! By D.F. Parizeau In the silence between hurricanes, expired passports and paper planes, I’ve spent too many days contemplating my retreat; bridges mean nothing to those with wings.

Sharing from the Drabble

By Richard Helmling As the ash piled up on the sixth day, they finally decided to head south. “Por favor,” they made their son practice as they drove.

So they found a seemingly desolate stretch of […]Continue reading "Sharing from the Drabble"
