A Pumpkin and a Patch

“Why would you want to be thrown into the blender in order to mix in with the masses, only to get cut by the blades?”

I thought a lot about the girl in my story and the one who wrote her. If only she knew it would all be okay. And more importantly, that she had the power to make it okay. Kind of like Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. She had the ability to go home all along, by clicking her ruby heels. Not to say my problems would be as easily solved, but the solution always rested within me.
