I certainly hope not @agmoore. It's always a pleasure to produce content to the best of my ability and hope it resonates with my readers. I appreciate your lovely compliment for my collage and short story. There is usually a light at the end of the tunnel if one cares to go in search of it and is pointed in the right direction. For my character, Annabelle, I don't believe it was luck that she discovered the old lady in the woods. We never learn the lady's name, but she was placed in the young girl's path for a reason. Strange as she seemed, her presence may have helped guide her in a direction to acquire knowledge that may be helpful to others.

I do hope the young girl returns one day to be a shining light to others. If they've never heard of a book that begins with those words, then definitely need some light in their lives.

An awakening can come in many different forms and in which others may hold the key to knowledge. Thanks so much for your visit and expert analysis of my design and story. I appreciate it, your engagement, and your support. Take care.
