A Daft Scots Lass said...

Awesome!

Everyone has a story...

Melanie said...

I LOVE this. Some, ok, most people are so self involved these days, they never take the time to get to know the stories of the people in their lives...how sad. They miss out on so much.

Valerie said...

I like this one, Pearl.

MorningAJ said...

I'm sure a lot of the people you see on the streets were once more influential than they are today.

Great microfiction.

G-Man said...

And just what was that revolution Ake? Wearing a wristwatch?

Nice - you never really know what lives people have lived.

Linda said...

Yes, I can most definitely see that in her!

Shrinky said...

Well, she didn't make a very good job of it - guess it's karma she's a bag-lady now! Thanks for the giggle.

Kim Lehnhoff said...

An unlikely revolutionary! Love it!

Kay L. Davies said...

All RIGHT!!!!
I love this one. People think old ladies are just old ladies, they never stop to think we're people, too.

Elaine said...

Very good. We sometimes forget that people can have had a very interesting past!

Pat said...

She definitely looks like an aging revolutionary/anarchist! Good one.

Grandma's Goulash said...

I can believe her youth and the photo makes me wonder if she is still up to something. I hope so!

Akelamalu said...

Some do Maggie ;)

Thanks Jim

Glad you enjoyed it Ron.

Quite right Lisa

So pleased you like it Mama Zen :)

Me too Linda

Things didn't quite go her way Shrinky!

Yes she is, at first sight Kim

One never knows what went on in the past just by looking at people, does one Kay?

Indeed we do Elaine!

I thought so too Pat

She could be Grandma!

Daryl said...

Well writ .. I can see her rebelliousness in her eyes

Sandi McBride said...

Funny how we dismiss the aged out of hand, never imagining that in their youth they were giants...
love this
Sandi
