Whispers of secrets laugh boldly, yet are jealously guarded; staring like harbingers from her mechanized gaze.
Grace fallen upon unforgiving innocence betrays a wealth of calamity sitting in melancholic glee upon her shoulders.
Childhood sings from the devious shadows; hope smiling as she silently watches clockwork unraveling Gothic nursery rhymes.

I confess, I took a cue from Richard Ankers in writing this 50 Word Story. I’ve enjoyed his for some time now and never thought I could condense my verbosity into so few words, but it was a fun challenge and you will probably see more. Thank You Richard!

Well done. I had to count the words – hehe. It must have been painful with such a lovely photo prompt to be limited iby a word count. 😀
I’m sure this photo resonated with you, as I can see a lot of you in it, most notably her/your fabulous imagination,
