Inner Swamp

Lucy hasn’t been tending her inner swamp lately. It’s starting to overflow, dripping from her eyes and ears. She knows the swamp monster is feeding on the gloom and growing each day.

They prevail, but remain forever joined.

This is a 50-word short story. Read more by me on CTTS or by others too on Facebook.
