Fandango Fiction
Welcome to “Fandango’s Flash Fiction Challenge.”
The image below is from the Google Hub Photo Frame.(For the visually challenged writer, the photo is of stone steps leading up between two stucco buildings. There are colorful planters mounted on the walls of both buildings and at the edges of some of the steps)
~*~
As I climb these steps, feelings overwhelm me
The nostalgia and memories crowd my mind
How young we were and what lofty ambitions we had
Sharing our dreams of conquering the world, making it our own
Now so many years later, returning home I feel the sadness
The loss of innocence replaced by cynicism
Of dreams unfulfilled, of wishes scattered in wind like ashes
I feel blue

Thanks Kate. It was a bit of let down as I didn’t get to hug anyone due to quarantine restrictions.

Feeling blue is not good. But hopefully you will get to shine real soon.

It is Shweta. I am happy to be home and finally was able to hug everyone here as my Covid tests came back negative.
