Woah! Thank you so much for the appreciation...I really didn't expect that I would make it to the winners! Congratulations to my fellow winners, the runners-up up and also to all who participated. Another prompt was done!
A month has passed, and I'm really grateful that I was still able to participate in these writing prompts. So much for that, here's my entry for this week:
