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.

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

Thanks. This made me smile and is exactly what I need now. My inner swamp needs some tending to as well.
