Weekly Writing Challenge: Fifty

It feels like life begins there. In a middle-of-nowhere city.

It was her first time seeing snow; winter was October ’till May.

She was considered black – Conservatism? Racism?

For her, origin is such an ambiguous word.

 

She managed to create second, third, fourth family. She simply knows where she’s from.

    Strong post with a lot of depth. I enjoyed your words, they say so much about ‘origin’.
