It’s that time again! This month’s Fiction in 50 prompt is…
…so create those mini-narratives in 50 words or less and link them up to the linky below, or leave the link or your finished work in the comments. If you’d like a more detailed description of the task, just click on that attractive button at the start of this post. Here’s this month’s linky:
And here’s my contribution – I’ve titled it….

A blink-and-you’ll-miss-it spark lit up her cloudy eyes.
And then it was gone.
Your turn!

Oh goody! I love your entry, Bruce–very heart-moving. And mine is ready to go, after a brief moment of amnesia when I thought it was 100 words, not 50–cut-snip, done!

OK, this is the first time I’ve heard of this, but it’s intriguing! (And I love what you wrote, Bruce 🙂 )
So then, is “What comes after” the prompt? You don’t have to include it in your 50 words, it seems. I want to get it, but my brain battery is on about 10% full at the moment 😉

Yep, that’s right – you don’t have to include the actual words of the prompt (although you can if you want), just your interpretation of the concept. You’re welcome to join in – we love new players!

I couldn’t wait for this day to pass, to finally be free and get on with a life outside these walls. In so many ways I felt I was a prisoner. Now, as I toss my tasseled hat in the air, I feel an overwhelming sense of loss…and fear.

Okay, so the Linky deal says I’m on there–but there’s what looks like a trash can after it…..

That’s probably because I set it so that you can delete your link if you want to. I think. Thanks for joining in again 🙂

Thanks for clarifying–I thought maybe I’d been rejected/spammed within the first 5 minutes.

Yes, I thought I’d take a break from my usual frivolous cheerfulness. I’d also just finished reading a book about Alzheimer’s disease, so I thought I’d take my cue from that 🙂
