She stood with hands thrust into pockets, and longing rose deep inside me. Leaned against the wall, she seemed so casual, but she tensed as I stopped before her. I tried to be smooth, but the words tumbled out.

I #defy my destiny each time I embrace him, each time I hold his hand as he falls asleep. Twenty years ago, doctors might have considered me barren. Fifty years ago, he and I might have died in childbirth. He is hope and science made flesh.#vss365 #WritingCommunity

#Ignite your soul with the call to war
Oh warrior, warrior, to battle ride
Steep your hands in the blood of fallen foes
Oh warrior, warrior, to slaughter ride
Draw a line in the earth
Let no enemy cross
Here make our desperate stand#vss365 #WritingCommunity
