Home - A 50 words story

Jardin Cromovegetal USB.JPG

Whitish gray, deep mist surrounding everything. Cold sweeping into her bones—familiar, yet foreign. A well-known feeling long ago forgotten, only vaguely recalled through the heaviness in her heart, her soul. Nostalgia. Yet as the fog receded she could see the colors. She could discern the cypresses...

She was home.


So, I stumbled upon this initiative from @miniature-tiger and—not knowing there were themes and prompts—decided to make a 50 words story about this foggy photo I took a couple of years ago at the Laberinto Cromovegetal, which is both a garden and a work of art made by Carlos Cruz-Diez, finished in 1995.

The colorful labyrinth (I'll post a photo of it on a sunny day someday, I promise) is a beloved symbol, and a beacon signaling coming home once again.

I like your use of the photo as a prompt. You have turned it into a beautiful 50 word story.

I've found out that any picture can be source of inspiration :) I'm glad you liked it

This is good. The photo fits perfectly :)

Thanks for reading and for your comment! I really appreciate it

Very beautiful writing, as if the fog has skewed everything, reflecting her conflicted emotions, and then once the fog clears, so do any reservations held within her, and she realizes she's home. Amazing :)

Thanks! And yeah, that was kind of the intention hahaha. Glad you saw it ;)

Ah, the photo is amazing and the words are very strong. It is a beautiful piece!

Thank you @clementinete! :)
