Darkness


It's 2am and I lay awake, discovering the depth of night.
The raccoon finds a shiny thing and skitters away to clean it.
A lone drake sits sadly at the picnic table, casting wishes in the pond.
Are you out there?
I miss the feel of your arms,
breath on my neck,
moments of bliss.



This is my first, modest attempt at G-Man's Friday Flash 55.

  11. This is a great Flash Fiction 55! I hope you keep doing them. It's not an easy task is it? I tried one once and it was very difficult. I'm doing one for this Friday coming up. I love the photo too. Did you snap it? I can't take photos at night at all.
