On Monday, I posted six words for “Joy
of Words” flash fiction. It seems only
right that I come up with some piece of 50 words or less. So here goes:
Viewing disappearing tracks, I sensed
that in this place, past and present merged, overlapped. I inhaled
cold winter air filled with memories
of winters past. An indistinct longing swept through me.
Stepping onto uneven ground, I set out to discover where I belonged.
A terrific picture. It sort of looks like a Thomas Kincaid picture without the colour. Nice choice of words as well.
ReplyDeleteThat's how I felt, too: Thomas Kincaid. He will be missed.
DeleteI could stare into the picture all day. Breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteGreat flash fiction piece!
So glad you enjoyed it. The photo is striking.
DeleteWow that is a great pic and great 50 words too. Even if I hate snow, not a bad view.
ReplyDeleteI hate snow as well, unless viewed in photos.
DeleteLoved your little story and the picture is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThe photo had another-world quality to me.
Delete. . . I am absolutely bookmarking this post. I love the scene you've set here--and the picture is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It has a haunted quality about it.
DeleteBrilliantly illustrated, brilliantly executed. Thank you. I think I have missed the boat this week. I will aim for next Wednesday. A huge thank you to you and Delores for starting this meme running.
ReplyDeleteI will get some new words out there next Monday. Just returned from visiting my aunt in Missouri. Looking forward to popping over to your site.
DeleteI would like to jump into the screen and get on this scene.
ReplyDeleteI find your Flash Fiction posts brilliant, particularly because I very much lack the skills for that sort of thing.
What I like about 50 words is that each word is important. Scratch all the "the, it, is, etc." but search for a specific word that meets the need. Write a couple and see what happens!
DeleteI love your second sentence most. Gripping photo.
ReplyDeleteThe photo was a serendipitous find, and I have been eager to write something about it. Glad it reached out to you.
DeleteThis photo caught me, and I've been looking forward to using it for some post. So glad you found yourself stepping out onto uneven ground.
