This week’s photo prompt is provided by Footy and Foodie. Thank you for our photo prompt!
From inside the rubble that had once been her home, the small girl looked up into the sky. The sunset had turned the clouds pink and was somehow hauntingly beautiful. Of course, it was quite possible that the colour change was due to the fires of war but she refused to think about that.
The once quiet neighbourhood had finally succumbed to the war that ravaged the country. The bombs had struck ripping both home and family from the young girl that was now staring at the sky.
It seemed strange that she was smiling, but sometimes nature was beautiful.

A very poignant tale but also one of hope amidst despair. Well written, Angie.

If we all stopped to look at the beauty in nature once in a while, maybe there might be less war and terror. A nice thought Angie.

There is always beauty to be found in the world, particularly in nature, if we all only stop and look. Such a poignant tale Angie!

Great story Angie! Very topical! Seems what I read in the news is something like this story except for the sweet ending (even though it is so tragic).
