Solitude

An entry for therealljidol week 22, "Token."Lily turned it over and over in her hand, this object that acquired its sacredness through what it meant to her, through the meaning she attached to it. It had been with her for years, long years, since before the tides changed and swept away the thing that had been anchoring her in this life, maybe in time altogether

You always do these so well. Your way with words is just elegant.

[crimsonplum]

Thank you so much! Sometimes the wordsmithing is my favorite part. :)

Oooh, wow, this was an interesting return to that earlier story. I think you have an interesting voice here, it's sort of mythic and fits well with the piece.

[crimsonplum]

Thanks - my whole concept for how they work together is a bit mythic, so I'm glad it's coming across!

Put one foot in front of the other, follow the cat into the kitchen...and breathe.

The best stories give us words to live by. Thank you for sharing these.

Oh wow, thank you. I'm glad you found something to hold on to here. :)

[crimsonplum]

Thank you! I have fun doing it.

It's just such an amazing story. I hope they find each other again :)

Well, I have a lot more in store for these two, Idol or no. So stay tuned! And thanks. :)
