Happy May everyone! I was going to be all cool and post my April highlights on the first. It was going to be beautiful. Than I got sick... yeah, it was a minor stomach bug and it halted all my work for a couple days. Good news, I had already finished Camp, so I didn't have to worry about that! But the highlights will be coming soon.
So yeah, Camp went relatively well. I had quite a few times when I really didn't think I was going to met my goal, but I managed (With help from my pep talkers) to do it! I reached 30k Thursday night and than promptly crashed and fell asleep.
Below (After the random photos that I've chosen to include) is a snidbit of the second story I was working on this month; Just Your Ordinary Sister. It's unedited, but I hope you enjoy it anyway!
“Come on, Mandy,” I said to myself “we’ve got to face her someday.”
I pushed away from the wall and entered the building. Summer break was just starting, giving me a great opportunity to spend time with Matt and Brook uninterrupted.
The trip up to the apartment was too short to calm my nerves. I had always loved hanging out with Brook. She provided a moral compass for me, pointing me back to God. She welcomed me with open arms and she always made me feel like I belonged. But right now, I would rather have stayed away. Now she pulled me closer to the memories rather than driving them away.
I paused outside the door and rubbed my temples. I had gone to work with Matt, like normal and all the paperwork had given me a headache. Maybe I could just slip in and lay down.
I laughed at my own idea. It wasn’t like you could really sneak around in a four-room apartment.
I used my passkey to get into the apartment, bracing myself as I did.
Just as expected, Brook was sitting on the couch, waiting for me.
So how was your camp?
