50 Word Fiction Friday: The Moments

Posted by Will On February - 26 - 2010 3 COMMENTS

Hopefully, by now you know how this all works. On any given Friday, I attempt to come up with a few stories (usually four), each made up of 50 words. The catch? They’re all fiction. All. Of. Them. Then, I challenge you to do the same. Deal? OK, cool.

Her voice? Ethereal. Delicate. Heavenly. If she nailed this audition, her life would change. Which meant a new life for her. Her family. Sadly, the wear and tear from the long week of rehearsals rendered her hoarse. No voice. One chance. Her turn. She stepped to the microphone. And prayed.

Your turn… whatcha got? :)
