Semi-Daily Scribbles

A sense of wonder led Lily to the opening of the deep woods. Lily read a lot and said her prayers every night before retiring. She was afraid for her soul. Lily felt it tugging and taunting her with pretty promises. Freedom … Fortune … Forever. Intriguing prospects, but Lily feared her soul would develop a mind of its own, and not behave properly should she expire in the night. Souls have been known to walk out the front door and attend matinees, or join unions. Lily couldn't bear the thought of a lifetime of restraint not paying off; of not getting her an audience with the creator. That is the reason why Lily entered the forest. There were tests hidden amongst the trees, full of mystery and pain. Lily had come to face the trials designed to tear flesh and torment one's spiritual being. Taking matters into her own hands, Lily was determined to set her soul straight as to where it was headed should she be found not in her right mind.
