Lina looked at the aging blossom in her balcony, eagerly sucking up every drop of rain nature had to offer. The edges of its petals were dark and she could see small holes in the rose. But, it persistently held on. Lina did not know how long she could persist. She thought back to when she was healthy, young, and idle. Now she wanted to make everyday count, no matter how numbered her days were. Determined, she limped painfully from her coffee table to her laptop. Even the morose Robin of the Willow sang with unusual energy and vigor.
This was written for Charli’s Carrot Ranch Flash Fiction Challenge. The word prompt for this week is Blossom.
Now she has the write idea… a winter rose perhaps.
Yes, whatever her profession is, she now has the determination to get up and work:) Thank you for commenting, Avery
How the determined blossom can restore our own fading will. I find nature uplifting as does this character.
True. Nature can rejuvenate us. Thank you for the visit, Charli
amazing work!
Thank you so much for the visit and the comment.
my pleasure
Really enjoyed this! Thank you! Good job with the prompt! xo
Thank you, Amy. xo
Very nice job. I envy people who can write flash fiction. I can write novels, but flash fiction seems too daunting to me. 🙂
To me, it is just the opposite. Find it very difficult to write big stories and a novel is out of question. Thank you kindly for visiting.
