Yearning - #5SentenceFiction

She thinks about it when her eyes are open, when they are closed, and every flutter in between. A constant parade of letters march through her mind, fusing together to form words before bursting apart to float around in search of new syllabic companions. The characters created in the process become her friends, enemies, and wards. They are hers to mold, hers to destroy.

It’s a daily hunger to construct the perfect weaving of letters that form a story strong enough to climb to the top, outlast its creator, and live forever.

Fairy Fiction - Iridescent Love

Here's my entry for Anna Meade's awesome blog contest.



Iridescent Love

It’s like gazing directly at the summer sun. After looking away his light leaves a bright haze, setting tiny fireballs dancing across my vision. Iridescent blue-green wings flap frantically as he zips around my bedroom.
A memory from last year tugs at the corners of my mouth.
We had passed each other in the hall at work for a year, smiling and awkwardly locking eyes. Then one day he showed up in my office.
“You’ve never worn that shirt before,” he said, casually leaning against my desk.
“Nope, got it last week.” Yes, I was enamored with him for noticing my new shirt.
 “I like it. Feel like taking a walk with me?”
“Anything,” I said lamely. Wiping the moisture from my palms down my slacks, I dazedly followed him outside.
Once we were away from the office, he grasped my shoulders, suddenly serious. “You feel it too, right? This…thing between us? It’s like electricity or lightening or something. I don’t know. You make me shaky…In a good way…I think. My mind gets scrambled when you look at me.”
I brushed a finger across his lips. “I’ve felt it since the first time our eyes met.
 “There’s something you have to know about me before this goes any farther. I’m a fairy."
Brows raised, I just stared him.
“Really. Sure, I know most people think it’s only a girl thing, but it’s not.”
I continued to stare in disbelief.
“Okay, wait right here,” he said, before disappearing behind a bush.
Next thing I knew there was a slight pressure on my shoulder. My six foot man had become a six inch fairy.
“Well,” I said. “I think love means taking you as you are.”
He smiled, flapped his shimmering wings and planted the faintest of fairy kisses on my nose.

Shiver

The wave of emotion ripped through me from head to toe, sending shivers down my spine. I narrowed my eyes on him waiting for the laugh that would let me know it was all a big terrible joke.

He stepped closer, taking my hand and said it again!
“But, I’m noisy, messy, unorganized chaos,” I said in exasperation.
“Yes,” he nodded, “and that’s exactly why I love you."

Clandestine


Meet me behind the tree, his note said. Be there at four, written in blue.
I put on the yellow sundress as he requested, stuff my purse with the amount I owe just in case things don’t go according to plan.


When I pull up, he’s standing there looking out at the peaceful lake beyond like it’s an ordinary day where ordinary things happen.
I wish, again, that I had a gun, but take a deep breath and focus on the weight of the knife in my pocket knowing it will be him or me, hoping it’s him.
