This week's writing challenge from
Five Sentence Fiction
( Lillie McFerrin Writes ) is based upon the prompt:
Magnetic

Science and romance, all in one!
Northern Fights
"The world is such a beautiful mystery," Meaghan said while gazing at the undulating bands of green light shimmering in the clear night sky.
"It's not a mystery at all," Jack replied. "Just high-energy particles following a path along the Earth's magnetic field and interacting with the upper reaches of the atmosphere releasing photons of a particular frequency, depending, of course, upon the type of atom or molecule they encounter."
Meaghan turned toward Jack in the chilly darkness, her eyes narrowing as she released her arm from around his.
"You're such a jerk!" she proclaimed before stomping off down the snow-covered road toward town.

ReplyDeleteIf we all shared the same view the world would be a boring place. I can relate to both!
And if we all had the same viewpoint, we'd have nothing interesting to write about!
