Descent




Ben couldn't stop falling. He felt the wind kissing his face, purring in his ear like a kitten. If he hadn't been so afraid, he might have thought it a pleasant sensation. Arms and legs akimbo, he flailed wildly trying to catch hold of something-anything. No lifesaver to grab. Only nightmare descent. Parachute failed.


If you have written a Friday Flash 55 story that you would like to share, be sure to visit Galen, G-Man at Mr. Know It All, and let him know. Have an honest weekend. Be worthy. Donnetta

Morning, Galen: Thanks for checking on me this morning! I think my arms are akimbo, too. Ah, well. Good to see you. D

And there's why I don't go parachuting. :)

Donnetta said...

Charles: Nor should you! D

I knew I should have studied my French better. Par la chute.

It means For the Fall.

Oh-oh.

Donnetta said...

Evening, Ivan: For the fall. Sounds like The Fall. Of Man. So maybe this was a symbolic story? Hmm. I'm just sayin'. D

Morning said...

well done 55.
