For
this year’s A to Z Challenge, I’m writing drabbles based on words I got from a
random word generator. A drabble is a
short piece of fiction of exactly 100 words.
Enjoy!
Kite
The reds, yellows, and
blues of the kite glow as it sails in front of the sun.
Poor
Icarus and his melted wings, I think. What must
it have felt like to soar through the sky only to have the experience cut
brutally short?
I close my eyes, feeling
the subtle tugs of the string in my hands as the wind pulls the little kite to
and fro.
What
if it could lift me from the ground?
What if I could grow wings and fly?
With my upturned face
warmed by sunlight, I imagine being swept up in the wind.
When I'm flying a kite I always think I can fly myself...
ReplyDeleteI've chose the same word today.

Don't we all wish that?
ReplyDeleteI've never actually been the kind to wish I could fly. I get motion sick too easily, I would probably just throw up on people as I zoomed past. Worse superhero ever.
ReplyDeleteK is for Kanata, the origin of the name "Canada" (probably)
Had a repeating dream all my early life that I was flying.It was awesome and felt totally real.

I was always so worried that it would fly out of my hands or I would have it bury it's nose in the ground when I was twirling it round so actually day-dreaming about flying never seemed an option!!http://pempispalace.blogspot.co.uk/2017/04/k-is-for-kids-kingdom.html
