The air was warm as it weaved through her red hair. Too bad. Fall was her favorite. She wouldn’t feel that cool air ever again. At least she’d get one last sunset. Swirls of purples, pinks, and oranges expanded out in front of her. A front row seat to the end of the day. Her end.
She’d never been up this high before. She didn’t know she could climb so much.
The howls were louder now. They’d be here soon.
She wouldn’t look down into the canyon. Only the vibrant colors.
It’s time. On her terms.
She jumped.

Dragon Walker
Lost The wind was cool as her wings glided through the air. She preferred a warmer breeze, most dragons did, but they, the mature ladies got stuck with the evening fly overs. They did their duties – raised new generations and then got put on the least liked patrol schedule. But, at least she got to fly. Eelou dove down, choosing to do a full spin as her wings stretched to their full length. Her violet scales caught some of the remaining sunlight, sending tiny rainbows cascading down to the trees below. This was her happy place.

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.
