So I came out here, to the end of nowhere, or is it the start of somewhere?
I wore shoes for traveling and a coat to keep warm.
I suppose I thought that if I made the effort, you’d meet me halfway but halfway is still too far, isn’t it?
Well, the walk was good and the view is fine and I have this sturdy umbrella to shelter my shattered pride.
They said it was going to be cold this winter.
If only I’d brought my gloves.
I wrote this the first time I participated in Angela Goff's Visual Dare Challenge.
Once a week, she posts a new photo and you can use it prompt in one of two ways:
* Incorporate it into your current Work In Progress – literally, or figuratively
* Use it as a 100 word flash fiction to get the brain going in a different creative direction.
This is a very fun exercise and we encourage you to give it a try!
"Well, the walk was good and the view is fine and I have this sturdy umbrella to shelter my shattered pride." Now that is a line to tip your hat to. Just wonderful.
Yearning, but defiant. Love
