From Lillie McFerrin Writes comes this challenge: to write a story in five sentences, inspired by the word 'memories'.
Beth took a breath to steel her resolve, then ran toward the waves pushing against the beach. She lifted her arm high, and with all her might threw the bottle into the sea. She stood for a moment to watch the bottle be drawn further and further away from shore. It wasn't long before she could no longer see the scraps of photographs inside. "Goodbye" she whispered, then turned her back on the water.
You are really good at five sentence fiction... this is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nancy :)
DeleteI pretend I'm Snoopy atop his dog house, tapping out "It was a dark and stormy night..."
Still memories remain.... Good one :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sushree.
DeleteThey never entirely disappear, do they?
Great job. Enjoyed this very much.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sheila - I'm glad you liked it.
DeleteWow...that is poignant. I loved the imagery and the idea of this! ♥
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, Kathy.
DeleteAnd thanks for visiting the Lighthouse.
Between your character tossing things into the ocean and mine doing the same, we seem to be responsible for a lot of litter! (Literary littering?)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're finally posting your stories where more readers can see them! You have a lot to offer.
We have been literarily irresponsible, K. We'd best be careful or they'll take away our pen and paper!
DeleteAnd thank you; that means a lot coming from you.
