perfume

The heavy stench of the garbage-laden air parted almost visibly. Alice stood transfixed, trying to determine the source of this fresh new odour..  a fragrance beautiful in its simplicity and charm, it lightened the atmosphere and lifted her spirit. She started as someone whispered behind her. “Rose incense.. It carries the heart to its beloved.”

  1. At last, relief! Well done! There was a kind of progression here, if we take all three women to be the same protagonist!

I'm not in just now, but you're welcome to stay a while and doodle me a note. Make yourself a cuppa if you like, otherwise there's some beer in the fridge, and probably some left-over chocolate cake. No pinching my turkish delight though, and whatever you do, don't feed the cat, she's completely loony.
