Fantasy, OctPoWriMo, short story

Lost – micro fiction

There are a million stories in the naked city, but only one of them can save me. Finding it’s a problem, though.

Every window I pass offers teasing hints but is it the story? Staring at the starbursts reflected on the glass, I wonder. Where does the staircase lead? If I mounted it, would I find the story I need?

I touch the glass and its cold seeps into my fingers reminding me to move along. Behind me the Bay of Sighs yawns. I’m just a dancer in the dust scattering old love notes as I tap dance through eternity.

The hunt will continue for OctPoWriMo, Oct. 1-31, Find the earlier parts of this series here.

  1. The last sentence is divine! Just so poetic and beautifully written and leaves the reader on an exhale, wanting more. I will be keeping up with this series.

    P.S. You’ve got me rethinking my decision not to join OctPoWriMo…

          1. Will do! And thank you, it definitely is busy over here and not the kind of busy I’d prefer (how heavenly would it be if I were busy because of book tours and fan signing events? haha!) but I’m hanging in there. I hope you are too!

            1. I wish I had the kind of busy you describe. Instead I am slaving away at an office and commuting to it. After work I am working on Curse Breaker: Faceted, writing short fiction for my website and learning how to promote my book. And I need to outline my NaNoWriMo project. Can we lobby for extra hours in the day? 12 more would be really useful.

              1. And it will all be worth it soon, Melinda! No one said Life would be easy right? :/

                And 12 more hours in a day would be awesome! But a better idea is to just be paid for existing and doing what we love 😉

          1. Nononnono. 😀 I suck at poetry, I don’t know anything about it and I’m having a hard time writing something remotely resembling poetry in Sammi’s challenge. I like to read it but don’t always understand it.
