The next installment in The Writer’s Mess Celebration Event is on….Festivals. I have chosen the prompt “Write about a person going to a festival alone.” and am using a pride event as my festival of choice.

Tomorrow she would have to go back into that closet until she left home, but these were her people. She hit up a vendor and spent the rest of the day wearing a rainbow cape and a huge smile.
