Snow Globe Life
Looking out at you, I know you don’t see me, and that’s fine. My smile never ends, my feet forever frozen mid-twirl on the faux-ice in a make-believe rink.
Long ago, months ago, you last shook my world, raining tiny grains of white. When you first got me, I was the shiny new toy.
Months have passed. If only you knew about the secret spell binding me. After one year left alone, I will be free – and then we will see – what happens next.

wonderfully atmospheric
Great imagery.
Intriguing. I’d love to know more.
I like the idea of using the voice of the snow globe lady. I’m dying to know what will happen if she gets freed from her spell. Good or bad news for the human involved???
Thanks Margaret. Me too. π
Dear Anne,

Shalom,
Rochelle
