The number called was B4.
My cards and prompts were:
Alternate Viewpoint: Fog on the Barrow-Downs
Economy: Luxury Items

Queen of a Little Kingdom; Queen of Infinite Space

No, she will not forget her, the woman who once wore this brooch. She remembers her well – last queen of a fading kingdom of men, on her wedding day, fresh and sweet and ornamented, with the hope of a whole people pinned upon her. She will not forget her – or her sacrifice.

The north has weathered many winters. Its bones and ruins lie shivering in the thin grass, waiting. In a little house on the border, a woman greets the golden sunrise before returning to her work. Mending, making, minding. Dancing among the rushes with the silver river running by.

This is lovely,bittersweet and I enjoy the way the macrocosm and microcosm are intertwined in, 'Mending, making, minding.', especially in relation to the bones and ruins and a life on the border.

I cannot help but think of 'mind' in the way that George and Tom (another Tom in another time and place, but not so very far this Tom) use it.

So far behind on giving thanks for comments. But thank you. I'm glad it made you think of George and that other, similar Tom. And that's a lovely icon for this drabble.

It's my nature, autumn, veggie food, and just joy of apples icon. It seemed appropriate, as is that very splendid hat in yours.
