Waterfall
Today is Day Twenty-Three of the A-to-Z Blogging Challenge. Click on the letter picture to the right for more information about this blog hop. Like last year, I’m writing 100-word flash fiction stories/poems/scenes for this year’s challenge. Today’s is:
Waterfall
Adam didn’t even stay. He just handed her the note and drove off. That broke Emily’s heart more than the words on the paper.
She sighed and gazed out beyond the rail to the river as it tumbled over the cliff’s edge, water cascading into a beautiful mess of foam and spray, only to be carried off to some other place, some other stream, some other waterfall. Or evaporated by the sun to become a cloud, to turn to rain, to join another river.
Emily crumpled Adam’s note and tossed it over the rail.
She smiled.
Life’s just another waterfall.
Come back tomorrow for X…
Oh no! You’re almost done!
That’s very nice of you to say “oh no!” Amanda! 🙂
Whew. You had me worried she was going to put herself over the waterfall.
