Actually, this is a voting security feature. During public voting, only club members can read posts submitted for that contest. Since anyone reading the story is able to vote (click the Like button), we reserve these capabilities to members who SignIn. Before we implemented this security feature, people were voting multiple times and making the public voting process unfair and out of balance. To fix this, our staff finally decided to allow only members who SignIn to read the stories. Membership is free and easy, and ensures our club is safe, secure, and family-friendly!

You had me wondering in the first half there, wondering if she was the bee!
He was the bee, she was the flower. I guess I am into symbolism. The story is partly true: I was 17 and the handsome stranger nearly died in my arms from an allergic reaction…
Symbolism is a very unique writing technique, one that I consider very difficult to write but one of the most effective and rewarding to read because everyone can comprehend it however they want. And every time you read it, you see it in a new light. Being able to write symbolic pieces is a great talent and I hope that you continue harvesting this ability and gifting us with many other short stories.
Such a beautiful story! I have to say that the title is so fitting. Also, as I recall, this story was an entry to the Lavender Contest, right? Well, that makes it even more spectacular since the idea was so original. Nicely done!
Thank you so much Katy! Writing is one joy in my life. I love writing short stories but I have published a novel too with my second one coming out later on in the year. I’m writing a third one too. At a glance, they are historical ones but every character faces difficulties anyone at any time could face too and symbolism plays a big part in all.

It makes me feel the bite of the bumblebee there. I experienced being bitten by that bee once in my life. And you also make me close my eyes and try to imagine and smell the scent of the lavender. A very nice story.
Thank you, Lotchie! I feel honoured and humbled everytime someone likes one of my little stories. It’s lovely to share our experiences too. I was lucky to be stung twice! 🙂
You are lucky enough for having such talent in bringing the reader to engage and feel your story.
Thank you so much ? Not so sure about talent as I am about feelings and memories coming to life. To me, every character has his/her own and is alive when they project them out to the readers, or, at least, that’s my aim…
Hope to read more from you and be inspired by your story.
