coincidence
“I don’t believe in coincidence.” Rose said “it’s messy and meaningless, a cosmic excuse for anything too difficult to explain.” She bit the blade of grass in half, savouring the bittergreen flavour.
“Then what do you call it,” asked the red haired boy “if it isn’t just an accident?” He liked the way the sun fringed her eyelashes, which were unusually pale and long. If he could he wanted to keep this conversation going forever, just the two of them on the bridge, but the sun would set eventually.
“Magic!” she whispered, with a frightening intensity. “I believe in Magic, and Fate and golden apples and Hades and unicorns in the glen.” She looked at him, waiting for a response. He didn’t laugh, instead he tossed his leaf in to the stream and watched it drift lazily beneath them and out of sight.
What a nice bite sized bit of story~
Can’t wait to read more…
Thank you, it’s all there is for now.
Beautiful <3
Thank you Nami ♥
Oh, I do wish I could read more about Rose and the redhead, your writing is so lovely. xxx
I wish I knew his name to be honest, Rose’s was so easy. Thank you ♥
I was sad this post ended. You are such a lovely writer… Please tell me there will be a book published soon!
I wish for that too, but I think it will be a long time coming. Thank you!
i believe in all those things, too. it’s a wonderful life. like that wonderful photograph.
I’m glad you believe in them too. Thank you, the instant camera is my new toy.
perfect. i love magic.
♥ Merci.
I believe in them, too.
Never stop believing.
This sounds really good, I like your style of writing.
And I believe in magic, too. Every time I look outside to see the snow flakes tumbling down I wait for winter fairies to appear outside my window, but most of the time, the situation is spoiled by cars driving by. I fear the fairies are afraid of the noise…
Thank you so much. Snow flakes are magical I hear, I’ve never seen them myself.
adorable unicorn.
Her name is Lady and she was made by one of the few real Faeries I’ve ever met.
Hi there <3
I stumbled across your lovely blog today and I wanted to let you know it brightened my day immensely, thank you for being so magical! I actually had a dream a few years ago that played out very much like this story, me talking with a red-haired boy on a bridge. I wonder if it is any coincedence I read this today, or magic perhaps?
I am like Rose, in that I don’t believe in coincidence either.
Thank you <3
oh, my. what a lovely blog you have. how refreshing and beautiful. love it. thank you!
Thank you for your kind comment.
That photo is so lovely ♥
Thank you, it was taken with a Cheki 7s.
Is this an exerpt from a book, or did you write this? If you wrote this… WOW! This is your calling, girl!
I wrote this, and your comment really made my day <3
oh, this is so delicious.
Oh my dear, this is brimming with starlight beauty, I do hope you write more. ♥
What is that book in the picture called? :)
It is “Heart of the Family” by Elizabeth Goudge, she writes far more beautifully than me.
You have such a magicaly beautiful blog! So happy to have found it…
I see you received your instax mini! What model is it? (7,7s,25,55,55i?)
Ever since I heard you mention you were getting one in the comments, I googled them and I’ve fallen in love, I’m hoping to be getting a 25 model soon plus there’s a store in Perth city(www.pigeonhole.com.au) that sells the film!
It is a 7S Choco, the Japanese release. It is my new toy and lots of fun! However it does need the close up lens, which I think the 25 has inbuilt?
The cheapest place I’ve found for film is Ebay.
I agree with Rose. You write beautifully. I’m in love with your blog.
You really should become an auther. Your work is just amazing, I would read any of it in a heartbeat.
I would love to be a real author, but I’ll settle for being a writer for now. Thank you <3
That’s perfectly okay. To be a true auther one’s spirit must be completely into what he or she writes, or else the story suffers greatly. I know since it’s my dream to become one, (I’m working on a few pieces right now.) Just keep on writing what your heart tells you to and you’ll never go wrong.
This is amazing.
I’ve been looking for something like this for such a long time, and now that I’ve come upon, I realize it isn’t a book? Come on, now girl!
Please get this published.
It would be doing some good to do this deprived world, haha!
You are very kind, unfortunately it is just a paragraph, hard to get published on it’s own.
Thank you for the encouragement!
magnifique!
alice
wow…i came on the comments to ask who wrote the book that except was from
it’s beautiful!
[...] A mere coincidence? or magic… [...]
