Every week, Rochelle Wisoff-Fields (thank you, Rochelle!) hosts a flash fiction challenge, to write a complete story, based on a photoprompt, with a beginning, middle and end, in 100 words or less. Post it on your blog, and include the Photoprompt and Inlinkz on your page. Link your story URL. Then the fun starts as you read other peoples’ stories and comment on them!
Desirable/Undesirable
He and she were in Jerusalem with their families, which you would have thought made them fairly safe from meeting anybody…undesirable. And yet, here we are, in a Romeo and Juliet situation.
There was drama, sure. He saw lads high up on Roman ruins, saw them pushing at a stone. He saw a girl below, oblivious. He ran, shouted, leapt, pushed her out of danger. The stone shattered on the ground, and a shard pierced his leg. Blood everywhere. She staunched the wound.
Only five minutes before their families arrived, but the damage was done, phone numbers exchanged.
Shalom.
Salaam.
