Flash Fiction #13

The past couple of days have been a mix of a break and focusing more on my WIPs. Sorry about that. I started from scratch on one of my novels, and I realized just how long of a path it will take to reach the end this time around. How I never had this thought about writing this novel before befuddles me... This flash fiction story came to be after I took a walk at a park yesterday. I was watching a family of three, and this idea came into my head which I then quickly went off on my own tangent... ~~~ Just as we came into the park, my only daughter, aged 4 years old, had run off from the path to enjoy the cool breeze under the clear skies and sun. My wife went after her as she called, "Lily, don't go too far! Wait up!" Lily stopped at the spot she was on the grass, turned around, and grinned. "Catch me!" Then she continued running as my wife continued lagging behind.  I laughed as I took out my DSLR camera from my bag, and began to adjust the set...

While listening to some music, I took another look at a short idea that I had shelved earlier. Hope it makes sense and you enjoy it. :) There's a project that I'm thinking of starting soon.

Flash Fiction #56

I was inspired recently, so hope you enjoy! ^_^ ~~~ Sitting alone on the bench in the train terminal station, I had music blasting at full volume while reading a book. I just missed the train, and there wouldn't be another one for another hour or so. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a little girl on her knees looking for something on the floor. I ignored her, focusing on the book but eventually took out the headphones when she sighed and slouched on the bench beside me as she looked down. I lowered the book to my lap and faced the little girl. "What are you trying to find?" She turned towards me with a surprised look. "I lost my bracelet, but I was sure I dropped it near here. I checked all of the other places, and nothing." "Have you checked the lost and found? Maybe someone found it and dropped it off there." Her eyes followed mine to the lost and found a ways away, and I chuckled as I could imagine the light bulb turned on inside her b...
