Her tanned face and glazed‚ hazel eyes were paralyzed with fear although she tried to smile. Her feet were unsteady on the boulder as she reached out her quaking hand adorned with gypsy rings. A gust of mountain wind ripped past her shoulder length‚ dusty-blonde hair and tossed her wispy‚ retro ensemble that hugged her Marilyn Monroe curves. She swiftly retracted her arm. “I can’t!” her

My life has always been shifting and changing as I grew up. The longest I can remember living in a single place is when I spent four years living with my dad before he died.
