The Black Wall Blog FLASH FICTION CHALLENGE #2
Word post I chose at bottom (No peaking, please) :p
It sat, way up, the hill
That house, we loved.
It looked, so peaceful, so homey
Surrounded by, VIBRANT colored,
Flower gardens,
Slate walkways
All nestled, among EVERGREENS, so tall
WHITE Birch, circled by LUSH bushes
A dream, come true
We signed, the papers
Friends gathered
We raised our glasses
to CELEBRATE!
We packed, moved in
GOD BLESS OUR HOME.
That night, AFTER dark
They arrived, DARK clouds
Winds WHIPPED, it POURED
Air CRACKLED, lightening FLASHED
Thunder SHOOK, our home.
It happened
Total DARKNESS, Power OUTAGE
Candles FOUND,
Match STRUCK
FLAME GLOWED.
We watched our trees,
They SWAYED, then BENT
Then SWAYED, some more,
Windows RATTLED, shutters BANGED
Books FELL.
And then
We HEARD, a noise
Stairs CREAKED
He whispered, “WHAT’S THAT?”,
“Shhhhhhhhh QUIET!”, I HISSED!
We FELT, a presence
We SAW, the shadow
A GLIMPSE, of steel
An AXE, blood covered!
I SCREAMED!
I SHOOK, he said,
“WAKE UP! It’s MORNING! ”
LOOKED around,
The SUN, SHONE brightly.
Kind Regards and still learning everyday – K
