My Own

Which fictional world would be the most fun to vacation in? I’ve talked before about when I was a little girl I daydreamed about six identical sisters, who were powerful but non-violent and existed only to make the world a better place. They were the Monroes: Marina; Marguerite: Jenny; Simone; Sabrina; Juliette. At six IContinueContinue reading “My Own”
