Just a note for all you horror followers: The next full moon in the Washington, DC area will be on Friday, June 13, 2014 at 12:13 AM according to the Farmer's Almanac. Should be an interesting night!

This week's writing challenge from
Five Sentence Fiction
( Lillie McFerrin Writes ) is based upon the prompt:
Wishes
|
What it’s all about: Five Sentence Fiction is about packing a powerful punch in a tiny fist. Each week Lillie posts one word for inspiration, then anyone wishing to participate will write a five sentence story based on the prompt word.
Still short, but sweet this time!
Wishes On The Wind
Sarah rested next to Jason beneath an oak overlooking the lake as a soft breeze guided cotton-ball clouds through an azure sky and watched as their daughter sat in the cool grass making dandelion wishes.
"I wonder what she's wishing for."
"Probably an ice cream cone for lunch," Jason replied as he plucked one of the little weeds. "And what do you wish for—riches, fame, world peace?" he asked holding the fuzzy seed head in front of her lips.
Sarah smiled, blew away the tiny white parachutes, and said, "Another day just like this."

Thanks, Tina! I just have to be careful and not write too much of this sort of thing or else it will ruin my reputation as a horror writer!
DeletePure simplicity - what we all wish for in the end x
ReplyDeleteTrue. Days like these gain importance as we realize how little time we have on this Earth.
