Time to get back in the saddle. 

Writing prompts help my imagination as well as my writing skills, so time to do a few.

Resurrection

Faye stopped in mid-stride. It wasn’t possible, but she saw  her. She just saw her dead mother in Macy’s. On feet weighted by lead, and legs made of rubber, she retraced her steps. Faye stared at the fall sweaters and leather boots. No one moved among the display. Sun glinted off the glass and there she stood, her mother. Faye gasped, and covered her mouth.  She smoothed her skirt and brushed at invisible wrinkles. Her mother matched Faye’s movements. When did this happen? When had she morphed into the old woman reflected in the glass?

  3. I was thrilled by your review! Thank you so much. I’ve just sent my first full length sci fi romance out for comments, so please wish me luck! Writing that length feels very different to writing the short stories.

  4. I like this, Jean. I’ve been dong this increasingly the last couple of years – I look in the mirror and my mother looks back. But as I loved her to bits and she’s sadly gone from us now, that’s no bad thing.
