It’s Friday and time for fiction of 100 words, hosted by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields
The servant girl handed her a folded note and ran off. Making sure she was alone, she opened it.
Come to the garden. Meet me by the old king. I’ll be there waiting. R
Gathering her skirt with both hands, she ran toward the back of the estate, past the stables and toward the woods.
She entered a small clearing. Breathless, she clutched the front of her gown. A few feet further, she found the statue of the old king, covered with moss and lichen.
She heard a rustle behind her.
“Marian!”
“Robin!”
She rushed into his arms.
Dear Lily,
I love a happy ending. Nice one.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Lily, I’m visiting from the UBC. Your 100-word fiction is so brilliant that it brought tears to my eyes. I’m a nonfiction author, so I especially appreciate those of you who write fiction.
Oh thank you very much! I’ve only started writing fiction lately. I didn’t think I had it me. It’s fun and stress relieving!
Is it really Friday? I have entered a magical realm!
Good use of one hundred words! Keep at it! I love the image of the King you have chosen.
Do remember to spell check, though. Her name should be Marian.
Thank you Dawn! I’m bad for proof reading. It’s a late/early Friday. 🙂
And I got so excited for the weekend! Darn. ❤
I did like your reveal, though. And I wish you had been able to use more words.
Lucky me to and up on your 100 word story post again, loved the last one about the old king. You did a great job of creating both suspense and anticipation plus a happy ending. Sweet!
Thank you! I had fun writing it.
Dear Lily, What a happy ending – I love your story. It is so romantic – Thanks! Nan 🙂
Thanks you for reading!
Lily
Oh, love it! So sweet!
Thanks so much!
Lily
