The two of them had finished the first bottle of mango soft and were into a plainer but still excellent bottle of apple soft when, in a very small gap in the conversation, there was a ‘ding’ from her mother’s wrist-comp. They both stared. Her mother seemed frozen and then darted across and opened the snip.
“Accepted! Nominated!!’ she raced across and grabbed Jellia… throwing her into the air. Something she had not done in years, and Jellia shrieked, and, truth be told, her mother almost dropped her.
Thank you for reading Von’s Substack. I would love it if you commented! I love hearing from readers, especially critical comments. I would love to start more letter exchanges, so if there’s a subject you’re interested in, get writing and tag me!
Being ‘restacked’ and mentioned in ‘notes’ is very important for lesser-known stacks so… feel free! I’m semi-retired and write as a ministry (and for fun) so you don’t need to feel guilty you aren’t paying for anything, but if you enjoy my writing (even if you dramatically disagree with it), then restack, please! Or mention me in one of your own posts.
If I don’t write you back it is almost certain that I didn’t see it, so please feel free to comment and link to your post. Or if you just think I would be interested in your post!
Thanks again, God Bless, Soli Deo gloria,
Von
