52 Words. Exactly. That’s what Sacha is challenging us to over on her weekly Writespiration. I’ve missed the first two weeks (not sure how?!), but I’m making my first entry with this! The prompt was Lost Things. For some reason, my mind went to a Forst, and the Lost Things living there… and then I started thinking of these guys pictured above!

Aww, I love your inspired take. A little fantasy, a little children’s story magic, it’s wonderfully written! The ending brought a smile to my face. Everyone deserves to belong with people who accept them 🙂
