Flash Fiction Friday #1 - 9 December 2011

9 December  2011


An interpretation of this weeks picture in 100 words

The Show Must Go On






The aria ended and the applause was deafening. Anna took a deep curtsey as she clutched the black sash tightly. The pain in her ankle was almost debilitating, but she was a trouper and stuck by the old adage “The Show Must Go On.”

She glanced wistfully up to the box seat where George would have sat.” Why you darling?” she screamed in silence.

But he was gone and she was alone, virtually unscathed.  This was her first performance after the car accident. Anna remembered his final words. “Keep singing Anna, I’ll hear you.”
Then George closed his eyes forever.

    What an aching first FFF, Naomi! Beautiful and haunting. George is listening to his angel sing, I'm sure of it.

    George would have been proud of his Anna and Ms. Naomi, you should be proud of your first FFF. This is a touching post and I can feel her loss. You done good on your maiden FFF - outstanding. Welcome to the club.
