While
going over my posts of the last year, I realized it’s been far too long since
we took a glimpse into Karen’s world. So this week, I’m linking up late (sorry
Leroy!) with 100 Word Song over at My Blog Can Beat Up Your Blog. This week’s
musical inspiration was a song I’d never heard before by a band I’ve never
heard of, “Carry Me Home” by Hey Rosetta! Give it a listen if you haven’t
already heard it. You can download it for free from their website.
O Holy Night
Edmond
sat on the edge of the bed in the cheap motel room. He should have been
grateful the manager had taken pity on him, but he felt empty. Across the
country, Karen was standing on the kneeler at St. Coleman’s, singing along with
the choir. Peggy would have dressed Karen in green velvet and put her raven
hair in ringlets. Christmas Eve had always been his favorite night of the
year—a night of magic and possibilities. This year, it smelled of stale smoke
and regret. The gin bottle slipped from his hands as tears rolled down his
face.
