The heather swayed in the wind as I reached the summit. My legs gave way, forcing me to kneel upon the damp Scottish earth. Before me, the glens stretched toward a gorgeous horizon. I offered a silent prayer of thanks for the rugged beauty of home, I was finally home.

That was my story The Heather's Welcome

The prompt for this ZapFic50Friday is kneel
