    PHOTO PROMPT © Lisa Fox  I knew I would never be the same after she started talking. I was mesmerized. Hypnotized. Wondering why I had never noticed her before. I think it was the sound of her voice that drew me to her and realized I had never heard her speak before this very moment.…

    PHOTO PROMPT © Rochelle Wisoff-Fields  I didn’t know how much the ruins would change my life until I was already gone. I had been fascinated by the deafening silence ringing in my ears while I started at what was and what could have been. Who had lived here? Who had died here? What were their…
