Her laughter, the tinkling of the crystal chandelier as the breeze played through it each time the door opened; she drew all eyes in the room without conscious thought. Waiters stumbled over themselves bringing her another flute of champagne, another tray of hors d’oeuvre to select from with her perfectly manicured fingers.
She was once one of them; they remembered her. She gently smiled and thanked them, then searched the room. Whom would she allow a dance tonight, to hold her close to beg her favor? The room held its collective breath, anticipation palpable.
True crooked her finger and danced.

I just love this one! The imagery you present is so powerful, Val. Totally awesomesauce. 🙂
Thanks, I sort of like this one also. True shows up periodically, I like her.
You’re such a tease
Ya think? Ok maybe sometimes 😉
An inspirational Flash… Pure Crystal… 🙂 speaking of which I have several of which I cleansed in the Moon light and need to charge with intent to work their magic upon my garden…. 🙂 Love and Light Val xxx
I hope you take pictures when you put them out in the garden!
Seriously cool. True knows where she is and where she came from. Well done!
Thank you Elyse, she is becoming my favorite.
Well done. You can picture it clearly in your mind.
I am glad the picture is clear. So difficult sometimes with so few words.
A fairy tale that most would want to star in – and some do 🙂
I would agree, though I don’t know about the fairytale part.
This one is beautiful. True is quite an enigma. So self-aware, yet still searching. I really like her.
Terrific flash, my sister.

True is becoming something of a regular, I like her.
I like that she considers it a favor for others to dance with her!
She is self-aware, confident. I like True.
I think there is a complex story here… and sometimes writing little scenes first is essential for seeing the character that you can build a novel around.
I have used True in a few Flashes’ so far, I like her. The small scenes are fun, she brings them to life.
I hear the sound of her laughter. Magical. A stunning picture, and I hear music too…
True is becoming a regular in the Flash. I enjoy drawing her character in these short stories.
This is beautiful….
A hint of lonely and isolation in the midst of attention. Love this one.
Thank you, I enjoy when True makes an apperance. She is an enigma, I like her.
Me, too!!!
Not sure why, but there’s a streak of sadness for me in this one … and what was she wishing for?
I don’t know Frank, True is becoming a regular. I find she is consistent in some of these Flashes, she seems to always have an air of mystery and a bit of sadness. I like her, don’t you?
I don’t think I’ve caught her enough times and surely haven’t put any pieces of the puzzle together. 😦
Another excellent flash, Val!
Thank you Deb! I am looking forward to more of yours!
