I’m trying to keep up on the fiction challenge for this
month. Today I’ll post using the photo prompt at Friday Fictioneers by Rochelle Wisoff -Fields.
I haven’t
posted here for long while I was in my slumber. And before I get into
hibernation again I better make good use of the time I have in hand!
So here’s the photo prompt followed by my 100 word story.
PHOTO PROMPT © C. Hase |
I’ll be Free
Not a single person… no visitor!
This is how they treat their princess!
No attendants, no men around.
Doesn't anyone remember the time when princes and kings flocked
my court?
There wasn’t a single damsel more beautiful in the world. And
they dared to call me evil?
They were jealous… wretched jealous hidebound priests.
Look at me… my beauty still knows no bounds…not even after
thousand years.
You cannot keep me chained
here in this isle forever.
I’ll break the shackles… I’ll be free… I’ll wait as long as
it takes someone to land here… but I’ll be free.

DeleteWow, that's awesome! I could this in my mind. I'd love to read a short story based on this prompt. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your appreciation Perfectly Santa. Maybe I'll develop it in a story one day
DeleteDear Tina,
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's a good idea to set this being free. Good story.
Shalom,
Rochelle
PS There's no 'e' in Wisoff.
Yeah no way it can be set free.
DeleteThanks
And so sorry for the extra e!
Lovely story.
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteI was wondering what kind of princess this is, being shackled for so long. Maybe a dragon, a goddess, a monster? Very intriguing, great story.
ReplyDeleteShe is some kind of an evil spirit of an evil princess
DeleteThat raises lots of question about the princess! Nicely done Tina !
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot
DeleteDon't do it, Tina. Don't set her free. There's enough evil in the world without adding one more :)
ReplyDeleteYup not setting her free for sure
