100 Word Story: Harmony Forest

September 17, 2018

The green trees stood proudly in the sea of bright young grass. No human footsteps had ever crossed the path, no harsh boot prints had pressed the flowers.

July 11, 2018

Once we were taking Cali on a walk. Cali found a lovedove. Then Cali chased it. And played with it. They were friends. They played together for one hour. And they jumped onto a tree. And then Cali had to go home. But Cali was sad. So we made Cali a stuffed animal of it….

About Me

Hi! I’m Emma! I love to bake, eat (anything gluten free that doesn’t taste like cardboard), craft, write, play cello, sing, do calligraphy and play with my dog, Cali (She’s on Instagram now!) Yeah, my bedroom is also actually the cupboard under the stairs, just like Harry Potter 🙂
