Bigzies

Looking the devil in the eye flames rage in the darkened sky Timber turns to ash memories are taken away in a flash. Sitting in the corner wet and covered in black . Sat bigzies my favorite bear and pal. With nothing left and everything gone. I still had my favorite doll.

This is a stunning write Cory! That is too bad to have your life turned upside down like that, at that age especially! I don't know what I'd do if that happened to me, I know I would certainly cry!! Awesome Work!!
