We were asked to write about petrification and dead wood today… I created a character called Amber who is struggling in the middle of the night to get her new baby to sleep. She ends up feeling sympathy for the dead wood that is holding the slats of the crib together and muses over what sacrifices we make to create and nurture the things that matter most to us.

Bit different from what I’ve written so far – but another enjoyable session!
