Heavy Mist

VisDare 13: Atmospheric

Like Normandy, she thought. So many graves. The sadness she felt at the enormity of the loss. Only now the loss was her own. The heavy mist burying the moored boats; the lowering of the tiny casket into the ground. Surrounded by spirits of those who fought valiantly, as did her baby fight to live in the incubator. If only she'd been able to touch her before her death.

  1. A sad and very moving piece, Maggie. Very well written,I like the image you used as well. Somber and silent, the stakes like grave markers.
