Walking after Midnight
Clouds filled the sky, hiding the moon as a dense fog lifted from the forest floor.
My heart filled with relief as tiny flickering lights appeared illuminating the narrow path.
They twirled and danced, leading me to an archway formed by low hanging limbs an archway I hoped was an exit from the forest.
One by one, with a final wink the lights passed through the archway.
I groped like a child waking in the night, as I stood once more blind and lost in the darkness wishing for faeries.
If you’d like to join in the fun with Lillie McFerrin Writes click on the link Five Sentence Fiction.
What it’s all about: Five Sentence Fiction is about packing a powerful punch in a tiny fist. Each week she will post a one word inspiration, then anyone wishing to participate will write a five sentence story based on the prompt word. The word does not have to appear in your five sentences, just use it for direction.
This week’s word: DARKNESS

Oh, no! To be lost all over again… I hope you find your way out. I hope the fairies return. Thank you for sharing this little piece. 🙂
