I had an exciting week. I turned thirty on Thursday and got my first pair of glasses on Friday.
The first thing I noticed? Trees have leaves! Not green blobs! 
Memories from his enslavement scrubbed his thoughts raw. Drawing his glamour closer, he exhaled through the tightness in his throat and unfastened the top buttons of his shirt. No collar. No choke chain. No reason to panic. Breathe.

Hailey writes about questionable applications of otherwise perfectly good magic, the transformative power of love, the family you choose for yourself, and blowing stuff up. Not necessarily all at once. That could get messy.
Kerrianne says
Nice six! Very telling, i want more!
Alix says
Beautiful six, superbly written, so much emotional tale is so few words. Beautiful, Thank you!
Graylin Fox says
Beautifully written. I want more of this! I bet you are gorgeous in your glasses.
Gem Sivad says
“Scrubbed his thoughts raw…” beautiful imagery.
Dee Carney says
As always, so wonderfully done. Your writing is beautiful.
Heather Thurmeier says
Nice six. Wish we got more! Can’t wait to read again next week.
Lex Valentine says
30 is such a great age! I had a great time at 30. I didn’t need reading glasses until I was past 45, but it’s great not to have to squint, isn’t it? And your six? Gutwrenching!
Hailey says
It is nice to lose most of the squint. I think a lot of mine is still eyestrain. *sigh* Too bad there’s not a cure for that. Other than taking a break, which, yeah. Who has time for that? LOL
Taryn Kincaid says
Awesome. So well-written. Can feel his emotion, remembering the enslavement, having to remind himself to breathe. Nicely done.
(And trees have leaves? LOL!)
Karysa Faire says
Wow. My hand reached for my throat. Well-written six.
Meg Maguire says
Had to laugh at your glasses comment—I got my first pair in second grade, but my reaction was exactly the same. “Holy crap, that’s what leaves look like?!” And just as importantly—great six, Hailey.
Barb says
great six… looking forward to read more!
Bree Younger says

Very powerful images in this Six! Poor soul!

You can really feel for the guy… nice writing!
J.A. Beard says
That’s a lot of emotional intensity packed into the six. Can really feel their emotional scars.
