Look! It is the final flash fiction of the whole year! 😉 The prompt this time is “The old house, with its wildly overgrown garden, was silent, secretive. . .”

What does that prompt make you think of? Here is my take:

                The old house, with its wildly overgrown garden, was silent, secretive, and perfect for its purpose. People avoided it, either for fear of getting snagged in the brambles, or for other fears. Ones they couldn’t really put their finger on.

            The gate was hidden in the center of the house, right on the magical ley line, where it would have the most power. Visitors from the other side could come in and out of our world without notice. Only the gatekeeper tracked their progress and their purpose.

            It was also her job to keep out those who would do harm.

Now you can see what my friends did with that prompt :).

WonHundred Word Wednesday: “She Kept Checking Her Phone and Email, Wishing Someone Would Make Contact.”

I’m a little slow today, technical difficulties (the technical difficulties would be my brain). But, it IS still Wednesday! And, our prompt for the 100 word flash fiction this week is: “She kept checking her phone, wishing someone would make contact.” Here is my take-

 

            The city stood silent, empty. Cars left here and there, seemingly abandoned. Laura peered into the fading twilight. She kept checking her phone and email, wishing someone would make contact.

            Anyone.

            There was a slow, steady beeping sound coming from somewhere. And, oddly enough, it felt like her family was close. She could almost hear her mother singing. Laura had to find a way back to them. She forged forward, determined.

            In the hospital, the family gathered around the bed: tubes, beeping machines, and their little girl. The mother sang softly.

            “Come back to us, Laura. Find your way home.”
