Well
Happy Hump Day!
For your entertainment…I'm gonna go toe to toe with
my wonderfully creative muse, Lee Brazil. *big
smiles* Seriously though, we wanna be mavericks…which basically means that we
wanna flash you on our terms…
So…this week I got to pick the picture…I was aiming
for haunting like…in a beautiful way…but when I sat down to write my flash
something else came out entirely…
So I hope you like…*bites nails nervously*…
Now don't forget to swing on by Lee's blog too and
see his take on this wondrous picture…it's amazing how two completely different
flashes can be inspired by the same image…love that!
And
for your reading pleasure…
Lyle's Light

"Are
you telling me you don't see that?" Lyle spread his arms out to the sky to
encompass the mass of green lights and fog.
His
friend, not even his best friend because he didn't have one, patted his back.
"Sure Lyle, I see it. It's amazing and…" His voice was devoid of the
awe that the sight should have induced in him…"Neat."
"Oh
forget you." Lyke pushed his hand away and walked into the woods. A sane
person would have steered clear of the weirdness, called someone. But Lyle
wasn't much for sanity. No one ever cared what he had to say anyway.
He kept
on his path to the green lights.
He was
tired of being second best to everyone, if he even rated that high. Maybe these
lights, this mist…yeah just maybe.
He just
didn't want to be unwanted anymore. These lights, they offered him something.
Farther
still, it felt like a never ending journey he embarked on. He felt hands on his
shoulders, but a quick turn of the head told him no one touched him. He thought
he heard crying…yelling…but no sound floated to his ears.
He
couldn't remember when he actually stepped into the green light, but it circled
him and the fog tickled his senses. He was safe here…they liked him here…
Gretchen
shook her brother's shoulders. "Please, Lyle! Please wake up!" She
turned the shower on high cold water.
Her
boyfriend stood behind her with the pill bottle. "He swallowed them
all."
Sad, but I know the feeling.
ReplyDeletePoor Lyle...let's hope he recovers from this and discovers that life is worth living on your own terms
