Before we get into this week’s flash fiction piece, have you checked out the completely free ebook copy of On Gentle Wings available at Smashwords? If not, I would highly recommend giving it a go – and if you want to really support me, consider buying a print copy at Amazon, leaving a review for the collection wherever you accessed it or checking out my Ko-Fi. With all that being said, I have a flash fiction piece for you today which was published by Adoxography Literary Magazine in their second issue and unfortunately is no longer available, so I thought I’d share it here.
Weight Of A God
I can’t believe I chased you. Night after night, my dreams were consumed by nothing but a glowing god who allowed me to speak His name – your name – even as my lips trembled to form the dignified vowels and consonants. Then, in the greatest miracle of them all, you chose me and bestowed everything you had upon me… absolutely everything. I swayed under the weight of a god who didn’t care for work, or literature, or movement. Somehow, my eyes burn at the thought of you, and me, and love. I can’t believe you only stir to chase me, now.
