Kate's Kingdom

So I know it's not April, but I needed something to post. So here is a flash fiction. April 25th At the end of the alley the metal soldier stood forgotten. He stared down the paved path, his arm raised in an eternal salute. The rust had crawled over his features, and a spider spun a web in the crook of his arm. An old dried bottlebrush wreath lay at his feet. If only someone remember. The old lady walked slowly down the road; a crown of rainbow flowers graced her head. She paused outside the cake shop. Something nagged at the edge of her mind. Finally, she grabbed it. April 25th She hurried off and before long she stood infront of the metal soldier in the long-forgotten alley. She removed the flower crown from her head and replaced the dried wreath at his feet. And said three words. Three word that were engraved on the soldier’s pedestal. Three word that should never be forgotten. "Lest We Forget." Estella Kate

This is a reblog from A Need To Breathe . I’ve been mulling over this post for a while and I finally decided to write it. (At least, if you’re reading this, I guess I did.) 😉 May is food allergy awareness month, which is a nice thought for me. If new followers aren’t aware, I have a severe anaphylactic allergy to wheat. For the past twelve years, I’ve struggled with people not knowing enough about my allergy to keep me safe. Taking responsibility for myself and taking the precautions that I need to often leave me feeling hurt and frustrated. And that’s how I figured it out – I don’t like talking about food allergies. In the day-to-day, I don’t talk about them. They just . . . are what they are. I live with them and move on. I know the things I can do and can’t do, and that’s normal. I don’t remember living any other way. But there was a time when we lived differently. We could go out to eat at restaurants, we could share a meal with family at their house instead of ours.
