In the darkness, I see her, even with my eyes closed. Especially with my eyes closed. Time cannot erase the face of my first, truest friend. Azadi, I named her, to represent the freedom I craved. When painful past intersects present, her furry warmth eases me from darkness to light.
I am a dog person. I had a traumatic cat episode as a child that hasn't left me yet, lol. But I feed the ones that come into my yard.
I love starting my days reading your stories! It's great how you cover so many genres and moods.
