IN MY DREAMS

Posted on August 1, 2014 by hafong

It’s Friday and time for fiction of 100 words, hosted by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields

I’m a dream girl but not much into fantasy, but I thought it’s time I spread my wings and fly a little. Everything is possible.

In my dreams, I soared high above the clouds. I touched the wings of the silver bird. I saw the ocean below me. I felt the air and magic around me. Higher and higher I flew.

I heard God whispered in my ears. “You are the child of my universe. Take care of it for me”

Darkness came. The stars twinkled merrily. I reached out and caressed Mr. Moon’s face. He smiled back at me. Tired, I climbed into his welcoming arms, laid my head against his shoulder and slept.

I woke and the sun shone in my eyes.

  Thank you Bjorn! I had to google Sisyphean task. I remember that story, but it is a nice way to learn.

Dear Lily,

Lovely dream. But may I offer some suggestions?

There seems to be some tense confusion…ie past tense and present tense. More immediate would be, “God whispered in my ears…” “caressed” rather than “caress” and “the sun shone in my eyes”.

Your decision. I enjoyed the story.

Shalom,

Rochelle

  Thanks for pointing it out, Rochelle. I do have that problem. My partner’s been after me for that for awhile. Sometimes I slip. I will do an edit. 🙂

Lily, Lovely piece. We should all heed the advice to take care of the universe, at least that part that’s in our power to care for. Well written. 🙂 —Susan

This sounds pretty dreamy to me, so long as the sun isn’t too close! Sometimes, we got to reach out the Universe. Great flying, Lily.

I liked the flow of this, Lucy. What a sweet a peaceful scene you created. You could expand it and make a children’s book.

  Thank you! A children’s book, that’s a good idea. I have to put on my imagination hat.
