Late summer. You’re wandering, lost in the woods. You come across a gypsy wagon, and you call out…”hello?”
A stilted stillness settled in the air
The ground gave way
Moist, muddy and mucky
Her skin soaked and sweaty
Awash with the effort of escape
Her breath languid
Near to heaving in its heaviness
Limbs listless
Flagging with effort and exhaustion
Her mind dank with dread
Heart shredded and asunder
Soul decimated and desolate
Cloaked in wretchedness and woe
Path unclear
Shrouded in shadows
A dank darkness closing in
as she stumbles in the thicket of stones and naked roots
Sleep washes over her
A comforting wave of release and rejuvenation
Rays of yellow drench her awaking
A sense of rebirth and renewal surrounds her
A vivication
Her eyes enlighten upon a vessel of vindication
A deliverance from doom
Seizing the moment, she cries out:
“Have you come for me?”
#FWF Free Write Friday: Time & Place Scenario
Another great one from divine Kellie Elmore!
Building A Life Of Hope 
Wonderful alliteration and sense of dread and foreboding. Liked the end.
Thank you. I tried to capture emotion in movement with this one. And the prompt called for a feeling of hope a the end.
How dramatic. The first part had me cringing. I’m glad there was redemption of a sort at the end. I went to a totally different place with mine but there was that sense of being saved from doom too.
It is quite strange in some ways where I went with this prompt but given my current state of mind and past experiences, it is perhaps a merging of the two.
Looking forward to reading yours my friend! 🙂
These FWF prompts can really take you to strange places. Given some of the places I’ve been with them in the past few months I tend to approach them with caution. I do love it when they lead me into fiction though 🙂
