Littler wasn't a word. She watched her reflection in the window. Higher. Higher. Higher. The pogo stick bounced on the tiled floor. She felt like she was flying. Like a bird in the sky. Out the window she saw the big antenna. That's what her mommy said it was. A tower in Paris. Higher. Higher. Higher.<br />"Boo!" Her sister, Stella, screamed from behind her.<br />The pogo stick slipped and down she went on the tiled floor. A curse let loose from her lips. Petrified her mommy heard the bad word, she began to cry. Stella let out her own curse then screamed for her mommy's assistant. Mommy was at work. Again. Back on the pogo stick. Higher. Higher. Higher.<br /><br /><a href="https://helpingpartnersofsexaddictsheal.org/" rel="nofollow">Elsie </a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-66927652621700194172019-10-03T14:05:49.952+10:002019-10-03T14:05:49.952+10:00I love how books can create so many new worlds for...I love how books can create so many new worlds for an imagination!Cindihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09520862122022663946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516733121956849207.post-42770579192920625942019-10-03T14:04:04.396+10:002019-10-03T14:04:04.396+10:00Cindi Summerlin: I read it, and am thankful that ...Cindi Summerlin: I read it, and am thankful that I did so in bright sunshine.
