This week’s prompt for Sue Vincent of Daily Echo Thursday Photo Prompt is Glade. Well it got me thinking about the serial I started writing to Sue’s weekly prompts as socs posts which I stopped back in June. As I said I was going to work on them, which I am but due to life I have not got much work done on the story yet.
However I am working on it now, it has a working title Vampires The Witch and The Werewolf. You can see the bare bones of it here it will be changing regularly as I hone and perfect it.
So if you have missed it here we go again.
Glade
It was early the next morning that Lisa carried Hope out into the forest to watch the first rays of the dawn spread through the trees, lighting up the dark . What can we do Lisa whispered into the babe’s ear. A clear and sure voice answered , “You must stand and face the evil, the five of us must lead the world back to the light.”
Lisa set Hope down on the forest floor while she picked some herbs and mushrooms .Warm sun played on her back warming her and lifting her spirits. Gathering up quickly the plants she needed, not feeling inclined to linger. She could suddenly feel the evil covering the ground even as she worked . The wind in the trees suddenly picked up and all she could feel was cold approaching as if it was something physical. Slowly yet surely erasing the horizon. It was almost audible in its advance.
Though not usually prone to fear Lisa grabbed up Hope and her basket and ran for all she was worth back to her safe haven. Lisa had never felt so frightened in her life. As she neared the river and the tower she was gripped with fear and rooted to the spot. Unable to move she called silently to Rachel for help .
It was Mathew who came to her aid, he swooped down from the tower and plucked her and Hope up in his arms and whisked them off to safety .
Back in the warmth of the tower Lisa told the others of the cold she had felt. As she was doing so they all felt the temperature dropping ……. “Look” said Fay from where she stood at the window “Everything is frozen.” The river, the forest for as far as the eye could see was white frozen, covered in ice.

Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Back in 2010 I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust. I will of been married 53yrs this comming year. I have found different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light.
My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and be as strong as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well.
I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits.

Thank Sue 💜💜
OK, I did read this, but I didn’t tie it in with he larger story, but saw it as a stand alone.
Oh!I see, I wander is that good or bad. I have given the whole story it own page now.
Having its own page is very good. I like to put a blurb up front so people realize it is part of a larger whole, but that’s just my way of doing it.
Both approaches work well 💜
