woah Thats heavy. How soon they forget lol
Awesome!
Everyone has a story...
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.
I like this one, Pearl.
I'm sure a lot of the people you see on the streets were once more influential than they are today.
Great microfiction.
And just what was that revolution Ake? Wearing a wristwatch?
That was deep, great story as usual!
Nice - you never really know what lives people have lived.
Yep, it's the unknowns who really change things, in the end.
Never judge a book by it's cover eh Lady's Life
Yes that's true Scot's Lass, thanks. x
People don't seem to have time to get to know others these days do they Melanie?
Thanks Valerie

A reminder not judge a book by its cover. Nice one.
Excellent! I really like this one.
Yes, I can most definitely see that in her!
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.
An unlikely revolutionary! Love it!
All RIGHT!!!!
I love this one. People think old ladies are just old ladies, they never stop to think we're people, too.

Very good. We sometimes forget that people can have had a very interesting past!
She definitely looks like an aging revolutionary/anarchist! Good one.
I can believe her youth and the photo makes me wonder if she is still up to something. I hope so!
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!
Well writ .. I can see her rebelliousness in her eyes
Funny how we dismiss the aged out of hand, never imagining that in their youth they were giants...
love this
Sandi
A good one, we need to know people more. Many folks have an interesting back story.
Perhaps it is time for her to start another revolution.
