I have a Wednesday night writing group. We do prompts, and drabbles, and it’s a good time. Everyone comes out with something so different! They’re short snippets – the drabbles are only supposed to be 100 words (eventually I got there!), a warm-up for the later prompt. I’ve decided to post my favourites, because why not? This is one of my favourites.
PS yes I know it is not Wednesday anywhere right now, I have dropped the ball on this for a couple weeks, so enjoy the Friday edition! I will go schedule a couple more Wednesdays now…
A Dash of Magic
An ordinary night. An ordinary hill. An ordinary girl. Her ordinary dog.
An ordinary breeze hushes through ordinary leaves.
An ordinary planet spins fast enough to hold together, but its ordinary rotation cannot be felt.
The ivory light from an ordinary moon over an ordinary horizon, glittering silver fire from ordinary stars. Ordinary galaxies wheel overhead. In that blackness lies an ordinary vastness, an ordinary void, containing ordinary gravitational masses that bend light.
Ordinary fingers curl to scratch a canine ear, marvel at ordinary silken fur.
Ordinary brown eyes half-close in pleasure.
There is nothing ordinary about any of this.
Nothing if not verbose
