Friday Fictioneers, I Wonder What This Is-3/8

Posted on March 7, 2013 by boomiebol

It’s that time of the week again, Friday fictioneer par Rochelle, and this week’s photo is courtesy of Jennifer Pendergast. I came up with this fictional story that is not the best but is the best I could come up with. Comments and constructive criticisms are very much welcome, and feel very free to join in the fun and participate. THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS STOPPING BY. Blessings for a great weekend!

Bunmi squinted… after only 3 hours of sleep she could barely keep her tired eyes open. It didn’t help that the snowstorm had caused power outage and her glasses were still missing.

Reaching over in the dark for her phone, she checked her email…there was a message from Rochelle. She tried to stare at the image but there was no use, it was hard to see…it looked like a giant candle to her, but after the doctor’s results on her eyes it really could be anything…

She rubbed her tired eyes again as a tiny voice called for her in the dark…the unknown image in the email bothered her…she wanted to know what it was…she wanted the lights back, and her vision right…

Ha – if you look at it squinty it kinda’ looks like the light the eye doc uses as he/she approaches the eye. Hope by now you have your power back & have found your glasses.

I loved that you took a reaction to the photograph and wove it into a story we can probably all relate too – Well done Boomie, nicely done

Nice interpretation. I’ve had times when I’ve been that tired, so it hit close to home.

Haha, I read someone say once: if you don’t know what to write, tell the story of how you don’t know what to write. It feels like you’ve done that here and it’s come off really well!
