Too Late

In the badlands one glorious day, I discovered a dinosaur bigger, and meaner than any other kind. As its bones were revealed, I wondered at the sight, what would it be like to meet this monster on a cold, dreary night? I watched mesmerized as its massive head was lifted into the air, teeth long as my hand, sharp as a scalpel, I envisioned prey, clamped tight in these massive jaws, and knew, none would survive once in this monsters sight. I paused and looked directly into a huge socket where once was a terrifying eye. I knew I was right, as the cable broke, the last reflection, imprinted forever, I realized to late, there is no escape, from this monsters enormous bite.

Hmmm, sounds to me like it GOT you in the end?? VEry nice ending! About my bleached blonde reference, yeah, of course that had nothing to do with my starting to write, but it's the time that I began and so it represented for me a time of "going back to my ROOTS" haha Get it? But you are so right! I blame it on those kids! they stole hours of my writing time til they left the roost!! haha Luv, Andrea
