short stories are tiny windows into other worlds
and other minds and dreams.
they are journeys you can make to the far side
of the universe and still be back in time for dinner.

It was raining the morning she found the window. Cold, gray, dark, smothering the day. She slipped through the window into sunshine. It was going to be a good day.

I can’t tell you how much I love Neil Gaiman. You made my day Beth. I actually take photos of doors and windows – I imagine who lives behind it, a story brews and I make it up as I go along.
I have had to un-follow and follow you again.. WordPress is not sending me any of your posts. Sigh.
