Hello everybody.This is Martha,and it's been awhile since I've posted anthing.It was before Christmas.Anyway,I just wanted to post a sample of the new story I'm writing called "The Girl With The Blue Ribbon".I know it's sort of a bad title.I might come up with a better one,but for now,that is what it is.Now I'll post just a sample,and then the rest later on this week.Here it is:

 The sound of dripping water was all Cassandra Silvers could hear from her little room that was on the second floor of her father's large three story brick home.It was raining outside,and as she looked out the window,all she saw was the little wooden Baptist Church that sat plainly,and yet beautifully across the street from where she now lived.There was not another soul in sight,so she turned away from the window,and unpacked her few clothes and belongings,and began to slowly put them away. 

  As she was putting away her clothes,tears began to slowly form in her dark blue eyes,and roll down her white cheeks.Her heart was filled with what seemed to be an everlasting sadness.Nothing could make her happy now,nothing could bring them back.Trying to regain her composure,she wiped the tears from her eyes,and finished putting her belongings into the proper places for them. 

  When she had put away the last dress,she went,and sat in front of her mirrior.Taking a silver colored hair brush,and a light blue ribbon,she began to fix her hair for dinner.When she had just finished placing the last curl in a place where it would not stick out,a voice called to her from the other side of her bedroom door.....

I pray you all have a great week in the Lord,and God bless you all,
