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: FOGGY
The morning sun shone through the kitchen glass window, creating rays of holy light that bounced off of her blonde locks. Her coffee was brewing and the aroma of the rich coffee beans surrounded her as she walked out onto her porch to pick up the newspaper. Freshly cut green grass stretched out before her, soaking up the last bits of dew that remained in the early March mornings. Suddenly, she found herself back in her bed, wakening from the sounds of the doctor’s prognosis. It was unclear to her, a vague conversation that she overheard clarifying to her family that she is paralyzed from the waist down.

Oh wow...beautiful and with a sad twist at the end. You're very talented my friend.
Great imagery...would love to know how she deals with the devastating information...Great writing Stephanie!
This is great writing ... I hope her story gets better.
Denial. Our brain does a good job of convincing us that everything is all right when that is far from the truth. Nice bit of writing.
Great juxtaposition of images - very jarring!
A classic example of perception versus reality... the mind is amazing...
This is awesome!
Thank you everyone! I am glad you enjoyed my take on FSF. Denial is something that each and everyone of us go through at some point - I tried to take it deeper than usual. Thanks for the sweet comments!
I really like how you created all of the color imagery in each sentnece. An intersting juxtaposition with the ending. Sad, but so beautifully written.
