CCC096: Taken…

Posted on July 23, 2026 by crispina kemp

Where are they taking her?

To a grand place, my father said, to a gated community.

But he never said the gate was locked and Iā€™d never see my mother again.

      Thank you. It’s unusual for me to know what I’m going to write before I’ve even posted the photo. But I’d seen this wall & door several times and… yea, it had to be this
