Watty awards entry :)

Lonlieness floods across the cold, empty house as a quiet little girl trots around aimlessley.
Her mother leaves her alone, strange shadows try to break through the old wooden door, the light escapes.
Maybe she just wasnt quiet enough.
Maybe she should have tried to hide a little better.
Maybe she should've been a better daughter.
Maybe.
Just maybe.

It isn't that she lives in a ragged, teal dress, and carries a thick, leather fairytale book around. There is something hidden in her faraway expression... Something he can't figure out-which leads him to follow her to Elsie's Lake. What he finds will change his life forever. ❀ Dawn Gray Brooks knows how to keep secrets. She doesn't tell anyone anything. Not a word about how she can float away from her body and watch the world unfold. She doesn't tell anyone about her daily talks with Dad either. Why? Because he's dead. Dawn knows better than to explain about her voices... Until River comes along, and Dad's words start to disappear. This boy refuses to leave her alone, keeping her in the now, clinging to reality. But for how long? ❀ Forget me Lots tell the adventures of a watery boy that has fallen for a whirlwind girl. A heart-wrenching journey brimming with love and grief, family, and friendship.

The Forgotten Tragedy

28 parts Complete Mature

Harsh and raspy; His voice bombed with power as he clenched his fists in rage. The young girl stumbled over her bare feet, her heart about to explode out of her chest. Her breathe was ragged, eyes shut for a split second before being born again and filling her body with a big scoop of that cold morning air. She starred hard at the morning sun as it started to peak its way over the horizon. All of her built up emotions start to find their way to her watery eyes and pour down her cheeks. Smiling as she cried the last thing that girl noticed was the wonderful white snow falling on that not so beautiful Christmas morning. He is a drunk, he cant let go of the pass or control his anger. She just wants to protect her child and live a happy life. She just wanted to help but now she needs someone to help. He just wants to be loved. Why does life never go his way? He is a horrible, rich powerful man and always gets what he wants. He has nothing yet he still tries to help all for what? #Wattys2016
