The Glass Rainbow
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
The bracelet was picked up but not yet was it safe, locked away as if in a locket.
The young female stranger passed with little power, only influencing play for an hour.
Then it found its rightful place, upon a tiny amber wrist it graced.
It's colours were given names in plural, it's texture evenly scattered in octagonal bumps.
