Oddities - Writing Challenge Piece



Visiting my mother's home was a deal breaker.  It was her collection of oddities.  Bones, taxidermy, animals floating in jars.  Some girls were scared. Some were drawn to the insanity in my bloodline.

  4. Thanks for linking up to this weekend's Trifecta Challenge. Loved your response. I think my favorite part was your usage of the word "taxidermy." There aren't many opportunities to throw that word around, but you've put it to good use here. Infected bloodlines either attract or repel, for sure.

    Hope to see you back on Monday for the weekday challenge.
