I enjoyed this story. I was holding my breath leading up to the magic… that you even got a picture of something that slipped away and poked at your curiosity is an alignment in my mind. Perhaps it will make ‘sense’ down the road… ‘oh, now I know why I saw that turtle with the nose ring!’

Thanks, Shaista! I wasn’t sure I should write about this because it seemed so silly. But it captured my heart and attention so much.

I’m glad you did. The time stamp journal entries built momentum and the subtexts thoughts / doubts are funny and relatable!
