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 prompt word. The word does not have to appear in your five sentences, just use it for direction.
This week’s inspiration word is: SACRIFICE
Ella sat at home alone, eyes fixed forward
and her mottled skin lit up by the screen she faced. She scrolled through the
pictures of longhaired girls in formal dresses, pink black blue, towering
heels, on arms of pock faced laughing boys. A tear slid the length of her cheek
as her blurred eyes read through the comments, the tags, the joy and the fun.
As she straightened her spine, sighed and awkwardly stood , she told herself
again – my life will be different. She caught her
breath as she felt the kick inside and instinctively cradled her belly – yes, I
have made my choice.
