Shards of Glass, by Mark Tulin
19/11/2018
Angela was surprised that she didn’t die from eating glass.
“A miracle,” many people said who found out about Angela’s supernatural behavior.
They called her a saint, an angel that came down from the heavens to purify the world of all its sins. Many gathered at her house at night. They held candles and prayed for salvation.
But Angela didn’t believe she was a saint. She had hoped, in fact, that one of those shards of glass would cut her insides open like a can of tuna and that her tormented soul would finally be free of its painful existence.

Wow. Incredible. I really like this.
Thank you, tara.
Isn’t it neat how we can slow life long enough to enjoy even the beauty in shards of glass. Each segment of design has its unique path. 🙂
I’m fascinated by the uniqueness, too, roninjax. I think the glass symbolizes the fragility of our lives. 🙂
Excellent point Mark. Good representation. 🙂
Thank you, and have a good holiday. 😊
I can empathize with Angela
I hope you have found a better way of coping than Angela. Much peace, Mark
