What Will They See?
Vocal Community Microfiction Series - Photography
Were they hoping to catch the next Kiss of Life?
To show the world that smartphone photos - angled, filtered and framed just right - could win anyone a Pulitzer Prize?
Or were they just trying to generate their daily quota of likes?
Such were my thoughts as I lay upon the fountain pool, broken by a fall from a fourth storey window.
As the waters jetted crimson into the air I turned to face the crowd and wondered:
If everyone was going to look, how many of them will actually see?

Reaching Out
I promise her. I'd do anything for her. She's my mom. Even as Lanie and Deanna are flying home, Mom is scrappy fighting dying. She lays too still in that too-big bed with all the toasty white hospital blankets, in the south tower, at the broad end of a long slow-turning corner that delivers me again to her private room with the view she can't see through, with the beeping that tells us nothing new, and all these ice chips she can't swallow, and a flood of well-intentioned nurses who cannot do a damned thing all the same.

The Darkness
The once cheerful town was now blanketed in darkness as the moon's shadow cast its eerie presence. Despite the warnings that echoed through the community, they turned a deaf ear. We, the town's residents, now grapple with the consequences, while they watch from afar, bewildered by the unfolding nightmare.

Awesome writing 📝👀💯Great Questions...
I Iove your idea here Loryne and particularly your last line!☺️
Ahhh, this was very deep and thought provoking!
Excellent question.
This is great!
Loryne, this is one of your best, it has layers upon layers. Well done
It is unfortunate, that when people see things like this now adays, their first instinct is to take their phones out.. and not to call 999 (or 911).
I really love your work... It's Amazing !!! Well done Loryne.
