you be smelling?

my name would be colette odile, and i would be reading the story of bluebeard.

tea and orange marmalade smells would mingle with the fragrance of just picked lilies of the valley, and pipe tobacco.

Helen

Maly Otek or One Hundred Years of Solitude.

Prague, it smells like history.

(I am related to the man that the story Bluebeard was about, creepy huh!)
