Timing

in fiftywords •  7 years ago  (edited)


Lana’s earring slipped through her fingers and fell to the floor. She ran her hands across the carpet for a minute until she found it.

Her train left thirty seconds before she reached the platform. The one after that was delayed.

She walked quickly, arriving at work twenty minutes late.

50 word story, cool:) And I guess not easy to fit a story within that limit.
I can really feel her stress... Great written!

Thank you!

It really is a challenge. Value in every word, and hints of meaning left unspoken.

Well here trains which are 20 minutes late are not says late lol

The train schedule is more like a suggestion?

Hi @ellievallie just had to stop in and say hello and read your writing. I don’t know how you do it, what a lovely mind you have. I haven’t tried in years! Love that you can do this type of stuff and share it. Thank you dear lady friend. xx 🦅

Thank you so much!

You should definitely try. If you're interested, #fiftywords is the tag for this one, and #freewrite is another great tag for writing prompt inspiration.

Maybe ... I’m ascared. Hold me. LoL @ellievallie
I dunno, after looking at some of your and others writings I don’t want to embarrass myself. xx 🦅

Don't be afraid, it's fun!
