The Worrywart | Ramona D. Pina
Now this is a story that’s never been told and it’s worlds away from Snow White and those Dwarves. It involves a little girl from modern day accompanied by a series of characters who guide her emotional path along the way. There is Joyful Enthusiasm, Curious Wonder, Sadly Mistaken, Fearless Blunder, Furious Terror and Love Expressed.

Warts pop like goose-pimples when his sixth sense interferes. He saves you from making a terrible mistake that some call an accident and others call fate. Why do we need him? He seems like a burden. Always sitting heavy on our shoulders when we are more than uncertain. Yes, it is true that he is hard to forget and very easy to notice; but when the Worrywart is around we rarely seem to lose focus. Take heed to his messages. Don’t ignore what seems real . . . no matter how hard it is to see, smell, or to feel.
