Writings for the Earth Guardians.
After weeks of stalled progress, my brain can think again, and I have lots of time to write.

By Ann Murphy This is a short story I wrote for a Writer's cafe competition. I wrote a lot of fiction for a while but have not got the uninterrupted time to do it now. I wonder when I ever will...
