Flash Fiction

Morning all, I’ve been doing a bit of work on the website.  I had hoped to have a big ‘Ta Da’ Launch, but things are taking a bit longer than expected.
So, to keep you going I thought I would give you a bit of Flash Fiction.  This brief for this was write a short story in 100 words or less.

Vigil

​Irene stared at the window, shifting position to get more comfortable.  Willing someone to open the black curtains to let her in.  The faint light from the television leaked through the gaps in the dark material; the ebbing and flowing perfectly mirroring her mood.  Then, a decision made she walked to the front door.  

The brass knocker stood guard, daring her to disturb the fragile balance of the house.  As she raised her hand, a million thoughts and memories played in her mind.  

​The cold handle felt good in her hand.  Solid.

She stopped, and smiling, walked away.

Let me know what you think, or better yet why not give it a go? 100 words or less.  I look forward to seeing your works.
