HUMBLE BEGINNINGS FOR BELLE / LUCY

Lucy Carrin Senior, had put all her papers in order. She and her Solicitor had poured over every little bit of the story, it was to be her final written piece.

She had hoped to have the story move on beyond the two parts already written.

But life gets in the way .......
Her illness !. Was now her barrier .............................................

Her own story, was like a story within
itself. No end necessary. Her stories and her life. Were like a huge tapestry, interwoven

She would hope to win the award. Posthumously of course for the 'Writer of the Year.'
But instead of her being able to see it all.
.
Her granddaughter Lucy who had been named after her and who in her own right.
Was an up and coming new author.
.....................................................................

Lucy Carrin, had been given a much needed golden opportunity. But it came with a price and a mystery ?.

The loss of her Grandmother, hit her very much. But in the will, she had been left a problem.

The solution was to bring all of her Grandmother's stories, back together.

Whether these were fiction or fact based fiction stories, that she as a child had heard on her Grandmother's knee.

The problem was, she had to write an ending story, that would join them all in one story.

But to write in her Grandmother's style. So the writers world, would be unaware of her Grandmother's demise.

Everyone thought Lucy Carrin, had gone into retirement.

The funeral had been attended by herself only.
As stipulated by her Grandmother.

"Will you, or can you do as asked ?."

The Solicitor asked her.

"I hope so ?."

Time would tell, she had a year. Before the next 'Writer of the Year.'
The winner would be announced. Every year for the past twenty year', her Grandmother had been the Winner.

This all sounded, like a part of the stories her Grandmother had written.
