Blog Flash Day #19:  Fireworks                                                                                         Strike after strike, sparks flew from their blades like fireworks but Miranda gave herself to the animal within, she moved forward.  Pressing her opponent around each tombstone, further into the black, his face hidden under the cloak it was a wonder he could see her.  But with each strikeContinue reading “Blog Flash Day #19: Fireworks”

Blog Flash Day #18:  Wild at Heart                                                                                  Miranda twisted, quickly knocking the fresh dirt from her hands and trying to ignore the gravestone at her back.  She stood looking for those who were in pursuit but she could no longer see or hear them.  A growl escaped her, she could smell them and they wereContinue reading “Blog Flash Day #18: Wild at Heart”

Blog Flash Day #17: Graveyard Miranda fought to catch her breath, hands on her chest; she had not meant to fall asleep.  The sun had started to set off in the distance and her book lay at her side.  “Bloody hell.”  She could remember the nightmare so vividly, how her heart raced as she ran throughContinue reading “Blog Flash Day #17: Graveyard”

Blog Flash Day #16: Different World         Miranda found herself under an old willow as she first opened the book.  She had read it several times in the seven years, and each time she got lost in the fairy tale world.  A different world of distant love, betrayal, passion and hope but she found many likenessesContinue reading “Blog Flash Day #16: Different World”

Blog Flash Day #15: Books The water thrashed around her legs, she reached down with her free hand and splashed water up to her face before her attention went to the book in her other.  The reason she left the cabin, to escape if it was only for a couple hours.  Though more than a coupleContinue reading “Blog Flash Day #15: Books”

Blog Flash Day #14: Children Before she had realized it Miranda had traveled miles, she could hear the running water and immediately knew where she was.  Through the small clearing to see the waterfall her uncle had brought her here to swim, and jump from the small cliff when she was a kid.  She even smiledContinue reading “Blog Flash Day #14: Children”

Visual Dare:  Table for One Derek made no attempt to sit quietly as he attracted looks from the other patrons.  The freshly bandaged hand on the table, the other fiddled with his last paycheck not near enough to cover the overdue bill in his back.  He glanced at his phone, the text she had leftContinue reading “Visual Dare: Table For One”

Blog Flash Day #13:  Forest Miranda left Blue behind, she had not even realized she was weaponless until high up the trail behind her uncle’s cabin.  Book in hand, she looked up at the sun and though the weatherman had called for cloudy skies but it was clear now and she smiled feeling the coolContinue reading “Blog Flash Day #13: Forest”
