Miriam was accustomed to being alone, but until the awful day her brother and parents drowned in the ferry accident, she never knew what it was like to be all alone. She chose the meadow about which her parents often spoke, and the long walk they took those many years ago; the one that concluded with a deciding kiss. Miriam made her way to a large oak, and as she began to slowly pour her brother and parents’ ashes among its roots, a breeze caught a bit and gently carried it toward the bright yellow, orange, purple and pink of the morning’s sunrise.

You’re welcome welcome welcome! Now that I’m on a directive to work from home until further notice, I find that available time to write is a fluid thing. Sure helps with cabin fever, too. Twighlight Zone times we are living, eh?
