S&S Invitational: Feminine Edition

🕺 Welcome to the Scholar and Scribe Invitational 🕺

The Invitational is our bi-weekly, super-duper, writing contest. It is where we match quills and draw blood all for the sake of the craft. We all know a 'friendly' competition never hurts anyone, much, especially when it can be used as a platform to improve your writing. 🙌

@Loveth97 with Technophobe

*Mr. James Francis was a simple widower who raised his two kids alone and who loved farming and owns several plantations. Some called him a millionaire, but he never saw himself in that light. He was just a simple man who loved nature and couldn't be bothered with phones, TV, laptops, or even the Internet. *
