Glass Cliff CW: off screen violence

[favoritebean]

The women huddled together in the cellar that warm afternoon in May. Everyone, save for Mama Edney, made it safely to the cellar. Edney stayed back to close up the chicken coops. As Margaret made her way to the cellar, children in tow, she could hear her mother in law shooing the hens, chicks and rooster into their house

I really enjoyed the atmosphere you crafted in this!

Wow, what a powerful end. And what a scary situation! I hope she was able to have the baby not in the cellar but eeep.

Also, I love how so many people wrote about family histories this time! I wish I knew so much about mine!

Beautiful and sad, but full of hope. Well done. It’s interesting how looking back at wartimes brings a kind of solace now.

Riveting!

Engaging, pulled me right in like I was there. Short but packed with emotion, suspense, imagery - amazing! Well done!
