breaking shells
Thalia’s stomp succeeds. “Ooooooomph! Dihhhhd it!”
“Husk removed.” Nia stoops to pick up the tan beauty. “Next — the shell.”
“Sweet meats protected….” Calliope drops another nut into Tal’s pocket, “… until the time is right.”
A large oak tree is just a little nut that refused to give up.

A note from LoveLetterist:
Yesterday I came across a meme that said:
The joy of life can be found in the pursuit of becoming your best self.
Do we all have sweet meat hiding under our shells?
