This story is part of the Every Single Day challenge, where I am writing something every day in the month of January to raise money for charity. Donate to my fundraiser for no-kill cat shelter Cat Guardians here.
I had a different plan for what I’d write on the first day, but this idea grabbed me instead and wouldn’t leave my mind, so here we go.
Absolutely gorgeous writing (and for a great cause!). I am so here for small town, look-at-the-little-things stories, especially when they’re so beautifully written.
