The Innocent One

The Innocent One
When I was seven, something happened that changed my life. I don't think about it much, but when I do, I usually wish that I hadn't, because it's hard. I've never written about this particular part of my life before, but I hope you guys like it.

Honorable Mention in the 2012 Young Writer of the Year contest

Very short, yet very moving. It wasn't exactly your fault that the baby was miscarried, tons of kids get chicken pox. And as you've written in the cover, you'll get to see him one day :)
Good luck in the contest.

cassidy.shay,

This is a heart wrenching and well written true story. I hope you have moved forward in knowing that you are not responsible. Always hold your head up high and know that we cannot control everything that happens in life.

Such a sad story and such a burden for you to carry when you were not at fault. Very well written.

Review - You captured well how the child saw these events unfold. The guilt, the burden she carried with such a mature strength. Writing can and is a release. I hope this helped you with this burden. Well done on composition. Great job. Robynn
