100 Words: The feel of dewy grass

The feel of dewy grass under her feet was one of her favourites.  You could see from the look on her face, discovered later from the words that she wrote. 

She liked dolls too, feeling their faces, hair and clothes.   She preferred people really but it wasn’t considered decent to feel anyone and everyone all the time, so we settled on dolls.  She had many and kept them in pecking order.

Before we could formally communicate this is what we did; ‘was all that we knew.  We kept her, and ourselves, smiling by giving her the things that she loved.


Written for 100 Word Challenge #402 on Velvet Verbosity; the prompt was the word Dewy.  I read about Helen Keller while writing, too; the wikipedia page helped in forming this story.
