Serena looked at the picture before her as a tear fell from her eye. Remembering the day she had created the work of Art brought back many memories. During those days she had been that woman hiding her true self, peaking at the world through her fingers. She smiled as she stroked the diamond necklace she now wore. Given as a token of love from her lover, Serena proudly wore the collar as a symbol of devotion to her Dom. The day he had bought her photograph had changed her life; bringing her love and the freedom to be herself.

"During those days she had been that woman hiding her true self, peaking at the world through her fingers"
Who doesn't relate to that. Excellent flash sweetie. Very poignant and heartfelt.
I got tingles at the end, really lovely flash and your site is bea-u-ti-full!!
I loved your take on the image. so pretty and with emotion. Wonderful job.
So many people hide their true self from the world, to protect their hearts from the pain of ridicule and rejection. I think all of us long for a connection to someone who will accept all of us, with our flaws and imperfections. Sherry, you have captured all those emotions quite nicely. Very well done.
I love how sad this started and how happy it concluded!
Well done. Great FFF.
This was weepy beautiful sherry. It is a moment in our lives, is it not, to realize how far we have come. Freedom at last to enjoy!
Yes, great intensity. I felt her finally at peace with herself, and all that in just 100 words. Great Flash!
I have to say this post was very powerful in such few words. I loved it! :)
I feel this post, I really do. We don't all blossom and those that do, at their own pace. Our fears chackle us but once on the other side, we really are free. Loved it, Sherry, loved it. Been there, been that woman.:) xo
This is a wonderful journey to self recognition and it really moved me.
Sherry, excellent work with this Flash!
Hiding behind a mask is something we all do. Some because of fear of ridicule and some because of pain. I think the challenge in life is the ability to be able to see past the mask and into the real person and when you can find someone you can truly be yourself with, it's more than just magical, it's extraordinary - very well done.
