The "T" In Destiny...
An LGBTQ+ Short Story
I couldn't wait any longer.
There was a witch passing through, who'd known my truth with a look. She'd offered a potion to change the outside to match, but I wanted to warn my family first.
At least it meant I wasn't a Seventh Son. That rarely ended well.
"Mother, Father..."
I blurted out everything, from never feeling right to the witch's offer.
My father thumped his head on the table. "Damn it..."
My mother explained, "There was a prophecy about our daughter. We thought we were off the hook when you were born male."
Well, this was awkward. "Sorry?"

The Business of Nature
Dew drops reflected the light of the sun. The inhabitants of Whispering Woods woke up to the golden droplets of water on the leaves of the flora. The oaks particularly enjoyed the light and the maples did, too. Happiness enveloped all who lived there, even the rocks that cried out in the night delighted in the morning.

Link to the challenge: Note: Well, you all know the story. A girl ends up in a house trying out the food, furniture and like while bears discover that their property has been tampered with. I just discovered a new way into this one that may suit the purposes of the challenge.

Sounds like a good start to something larger. Cheers from Lake Macquarie
Wow well done! Could continue as a novella or YA novel.
Love it
Very well written. You brought your story across clearly with emotion and honesty. I subscribed to you.
Yay, you did this one! Some friends and I were commenting on that prompt a few days ago. Yours is really good ❣️x
Interesting prompts, nice take on the prompt.
This is a great story and relatable to so many who have done or are going through the same thing x
At least they weren't upset about the trans part.
