Seems I have a thing for micro flash going on… but hey, sometimes shorter is better. There is a certain power to the words you use when you have limited amounts to work with.
Today’s Prompt:I just needed to borrow it for the night. Just one night, then everything would be back to normal.
Everyone would be here in three hours. I knew that if I could just get them out of my life things would change. Maybe if I didn’t have to face them all the time, didn’t have to remember… maybe then everything would be alright. I stood, frozen in the kitchen, staring out the window, not sure what to do. That is when I saw it, the neighbors ax. Just sitting there, outside his back door. I just needed to borrow it for the night. Just one night, then everything would be back to normal. I hoped.
This one was a fun little piece to write, and turned much darker than I anticipated! What about you? What do you envision with this prompt? Is it dark? lighthearted?

I don’t think it has to be dark. Lately though I’ve been on this kick it would seem. I’ve never really been the type to write such dark things. It has been a fun adventure though, just seeing where these pieces go, when given their freedom.

I liked this prompt. I thought about how dark it could be. I don’t know if it would be something that I would try.
