Muddy

In 10th grade English i was handed a photo of a little girl and a puppy (the cover photo) and i was told to create whatever story i wanted to as long as the inspiration came from the picture. i won 2nd place in the competition. The story came from my mental state with my father. since a kid I've felt abandoned by him. like there was nowhere to go and no one to turn to. i felt as if i was dying.
