FSF - Bewitched


Five Sentence Fiction - Bewitched

What it’s all about: Five Sentence Fiction is about packing a powerful 
punch in a tiny fist. Each week I will post a one word inspiration, then 
anyone wishing to participate will write a five sentence story based on 
the inspiration word. The word does not have to appear in your five 
sentences, just take your inspiration from that word.

This week’s inspiration word is: BEWITCHED

  3. Oh, the angst of the lone satellite...what a lovely use of words. It conjures up such a distinct picture. I can see him there. This is such a beautifully descriptive piece of work. Fantastic! Meg
