The walk

Little Anna was excited. Everyone in the apartment block she lived in were planning to walk down for the blessing of candles feast in the local Byzantine church.

She had wanted to go as well, but her mom, a closet atheist had refused to come herself or let Anna go.

Anna had watched from her window and unable to contain herself, had worn her hooded parka and slipped out of her flat.

Remembering a similar walk her school seniors had done for environment, she ran back and picked up the old sign. Papering a new chart over, she thought hard and wrote down the only word she had understood from Father Thomas’ speech when he had visited her school.

She ran up to the front of the procession where Mr. Rodriguez, her neighbour was, who smiled at her.

She had snuck out and was now leading the procession. She had done it!

Thanks to the amazing Priceless Joy for the challenge and Elaine for the photo prompt.
