My eyes! They burn!

Yet again I am judging Reflections contest entries. To all young writers: read more good writing. Practice. Try to have something to say. Have someone read your writing, comment on it, and then write another draft.

I wasn’t going to post any exerpts this year, but this one just cries out:
“The thought of my father leaving me, his only daughter, for another woman made me feel noxious.”
Oooh, me too!
