Incapable Nostalgia Part 5

Fiery terrains can seem like the end of creation and as mass destruction. But they also can be symbolic to a new path or conviction being revealed. For these two, it’s an displayed reminder of choices that cannot be undone. But does Ellie see it that way? Or is this just another fun challenge for her? Follow along in my mini fantasy story and escape into their world!

Stepping out of writer mode to say thank you for all the support for my writing journey! This has been both great practice and a much needed push towards my goals in becoming an author! I didn’t think I would have this much fun even if hardly anyone sees my post. Which I’m fine with, since I expected low reach with my unique approach to put myself out there 😬

Anyway, if you don’t mind mini stories in your feed, be sure to follow!
