I had so much fun last time with this group – am doing it again
I really don’t have time as going on holiday in two days –but I couldn’t resist — my impulse control is turned off.
Answer the question – Why do birds suddenly appear?
in 42 words exactly
The forest.
Dark, silent.
No breeze rustles the leaves.
Rotting, decaying stench.
Dead.
The townspeople cower in fear, whispers circulate.
A figure stands clothed in white with raised hand.
The shadows dissolve. Vegetation sprouts, green and alive. A bird sings its song.

Ominous to glorious. Love.
I kinda didn’t see it that way – but I guess it was – thank you!
From darkness to light. Beautiful.
thank you – see comment above lol
There’s hope in this one. I feel hopeful. Nicely done!
Glad to hear 🙂
I like the contrast between the decaying stench and the new growth.
thank you – I did too lol
I really like the transitional flow.
thank you for stopping by 😀
good transition…:)
thank you !
Nice juxtaposition of life and death here!

well death and life anyway
There is always light at the other end. Lovely take on the prompt Sue.
thank you !
I think this is a rather sinister scene, even with the return of the light and the birds singing. Very cool little story. Thanks for linking it up!
that was my intention – and the figure clothed in white is a witch – but hard to define with 42 words – thank you!
