Breathe in (Friday Fictioneers)
Watering the dying flowers seems like a waste of time. Standing here, at the window, I look out on a sigh. I’m not sure why I bother.
Another day dawns and in moments I will out there again, repeating the same motions over and over to no end and no avail. I breathe out and glance once more through the dirty glass.
Breathe in, breathe out.
I grab my bag. A flash of green catches my eye. Damn. Don’t forget the manuscript. I’m editing on the train again.
I stuff it in my bag and race out into the dawn.

That’s so bleak Laurie I could hardly bear it
Yeah Neil… i didn’t mean it to be but it kinda ended up that way.
Stories do that, don’t they. The long to escape and live a life of their own in the world
Very true Neil. And in 100 words they still take on a life of their own
There ought to be more to this person’s life than this. I could feel depression creeping in.
Thank you Sandra. It ended up darker than i thought. Unexpected
Amen. She needs a change of some kind.
Yes i think she does!!
Summed up a lot of life we all go through, repeating the same tasks over and over with little reward. Dark indeed. Well done.
Thank you Iain. I honestly didn’t mean to make it that dark. I guess that is just the way a lot of us are feeling at the moment
Oh man… this person’s life is beyond depressing. Time to find something to jack him/her up!
Thanks Dale!! I totally agree
Dear Laurie,
There are days like that. Gray, bleak and well written.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you Rochelle. It’s been a tough week, but we keep on trucking so to speak
Yes. Don’t forget the manuscript for heavens’ sake. A writer is out there needing the same misery.
Yes exactly!!!!
🙂
She clearly leads a humdrum life. Many do…sadly
My story is called Stardust
Indeed, thanks Keith
Yikes! This poor woman needs a little spark in her life! Well depicted tale.
Thank you Alicia. She does methinks. But it will get better
Good!
This is February bleakness if there ever was anything
Yes well put Bjorn 😏
Everyday life for most of us is tedious and mundane at the best, depressing and bleak when worse, you captured the sense of it all brilliantly
Thank you Michael. I agree the daily grind is hard and wears on us all. But we keep on keeping on don’t we?
