ROCHELLE WISOFF-FIELDS-ADDICTED TO PURPLE HOSTS THE FLASH FICTION

SILENT TRAVELLER
I stretched out, very slowly. No-one would even see my progress tonight because there was no wind, no movement against which to judge my progress.
Slowly, easy does it, edging ever closer. Dried grasses from a whole day of sun felt their stems soften and swell as I rose silently, millimetre by millimetre.
I could now sense the gain and would very soon reach the bases of the old trees, the trees which after dark whispered to me and gave me special gifts for me to take back along the river, to where I would retreat in a few hours.
The tide has a voice. The atmosphere is evocative. Well done!

Lovely to ‘meet’ some new people … I have a basic need to waffle throughout my day and if anyone finds those wafflings amusing or interesting, that makes me happy 💫

I thought it was a voice from nature, and it was. Voice of water. Very different and very nicely done. 🙂

I’m not sure you need to do that. You can just mention FF in your post, and put in a hyperlink to the page where all the stories are linked. (That’s what I do.)

My first thought was, this is a snail inching along. A creeping tide makes more sense.🙃
