By popular demand, I am writing MicroStories to go with Adelaide, my paperdoll! I will try to write a MicroStory for each outfit set. (More outfits coming soon! I have to color them still.)
So, without further adieu, here is the MicroStory for Adelaide, Brave Ballerina!
Adelaide, Brave Balleria MicroStory
This morning, as I scanned through the headlines, this headline caught my eye: This 6-Year-Old Survivor’s Story May Be the Most Intense from Newtown Yet – Politics – The Atlantic Wire. As I thought about that little girl and all she survived, a poem started to form in my mind…
She played dead
Escaped inside her head
All around her everything
Turned blood-red
Her memory defaced
Can’t be erased
This horror is
Her breathing space
She survived
Til help arrived
Now any sentiment
Just seems contrived
The Wisdom of Gavroche
