Flash fiction challenge time is upon me again from Matt The Book Blogger. I have loved this challenge since it started!
To think I never knew what flash fiction was until trying this challenge?!
Well Matt chooses a song each week, and then the challenge is to use the song as inspiration for a Flash Fiction piece no more than 100 words.
Check out this week’s challenge here.
The song this week is ‘Young & Beautiful’ by Lana Del Ray
I thought I would stick to the romance track I was on last week, but from a different time in life…
She doesn’t know I am watching her, as she slowly undresses, slips on her cotton nightgown, and cleanses her face, then dots on that cold cream that she has used for aeons.
Eyes still as bright as the day I met her and fell in love, what are a few wrinkles around them eh?
She turns and notices me looking and gives me that precious smile that melts my heart each time I see it.
She comes to bed, gets in between the covers. I squeeze her hand.
Happy birthday my love, 73 years young, and still beautiful in my eyes.
