Miracle Issue 6
Guiding Fairies -Andrew Scott Do not know why I went this way, shelter from sudden, hard rain, really thought this trail would be shorter, the winds are making this blinding, cannot see but two steps ahead, just that far because of a small, white glowing aura, created, I think, by rain in my eyes.
THE
Body is tensing with every step, the fear being created in my mind, is making more damp sweat on my skin, keeping head down, moving forward, legs are too heavy to just run, focusing on keeping breathing steady, thinking jaw will break from clinching.

ISSUE
Feels like I just walked through a building, the rain was not pounding for a brief second, now my arms are being hit by thorny branches, just step by step, walking forward, not moving my eyes or head, do not want to look, sure my terror is playing tricks on me. See a glimmer of light ahead, muddy trail getting wider, clearer, afraid still to move faster, even as I hear bells off in the clearing. Behind me, I hear mischievous giggles, relief playing tricks on me, as I step into the sun’s mist, letting out the lump in my chest.
