Story Jots # 14 (b) – This Droid Heart
That breakfast seven days ago was two piping hot medium-sized pancakes, infused with strawberries and topped with whipped cream. Tera’s comfort breakfast.

where the town ended and the forest began
the whole journey protected
by those evergreen trees I shared days with
every step was like a play
