Paper Groceries

By Diane J Cornwell

Fourteen year old Gina Brown did not believe the social workers when they said she had distant relatives up north. So when they left her in the small town girls home she ran away. Tired, she stopped running when she entered an empty park. She needed to think through her options now she was orphaned.

First she needed money so she could take a bus as far away as possible. A house across the street looked suitable to rob so she walked in the front door.

Gina frowned at a cardboard cut out of a teenager spread across the lounge chair, same height and hair cut as herself. Then something hit the back of her head and she blacked out.

This fantasy short story Paper Groceries shows magic can help to find family, even if you do not believe in magic.

Diane J Cornwell learnt to read before she started school at the age of five. At school she learnt to write the words she already recognized. She loved going to school. When she was asked to write a story on her holiday activities, Diane wrote a story on what she wanted to do, not what she did, and earned an “A” grade for the homework. That started her on a life of writing fiction.A bi-product of all that reading was creating her own stories about determined characters who try to make the right decisions the first time during their adventures. Stories she can read over and over again just for the pleasure of revisiting the characters.Diane wrote her first full length novel in 2007, and hopes to have many more stories created in the coming years.
