... Just a quickie, people... am pooped. Will look forward to reading tomorrow. LOL Kate xx
FIRST LOVE
He scattered chickens from inside the open-top Daimler in the hay barn and cranked her up. Never mind the dust or pigeon droppings from the roost above; the cracked-leather seats were high and still well-sprung, almost enabling me to see over the walnut-fasciad dashboard and ocean-liner steering wheel. We drove a couple of miles, a heady spin round solitary lanes before calling cows home for milking; it was enough to make me fall in love – if men were like my brother. But later, when he locked me behind the door to the attic, leaving me in pitch-darkness and at the mercy of scuttling rats, I decided to be a nun instead; God seemed an altogether safer bet.
My question is the same as Andy's. How did she escape to become a nun? Was this a mail-order bride type of situation? Surely sounds like it. This is fantastic. An entire story. Maybe even a movie in less than a page.
... on the wings of a dove and prayer, my Darling... but of course! :)) xx

Kate, this is excellent prose with a lot of meaningful, descriptive words and phrases which only heightens one’s senses while reading it. Brothers are known to pull dumb stunts … lol. Glad you made it out of the attic. Thanks for sharing it. Take good care and be well.
