This week’s photo prompt is provided by J.S. Brand. Thank you J.S. for our photo prompt!
We were going on a pilgrimage. We had been told a building was perched on side of a hill with only 99 and steps lying between as and it.
All we had been told was that the site was incredibly secretive but that we would find the answers we were seeking there.
Now we were standing at the bottom of the hill looking at the beginning of our journey. It looked like it was going to be trickier than we had first imagined climbing 99 steps.
The question needed an answer. Just who had taken our baby?
We began climbing.

Loved this Angie. Brutal and angst-filled. I just hope that she gets her answers

It’s a big question. I like that this works as a sci-fi mystery, but also metaphorically it imagines the struggle of parents dealing with loss.
