A Reflection from the Shore
This is the 1st in the series of Fluck Tuesdays.
Photo courtesy of Oliver Fluck and sincere gratitude for the collaboration which resulted in eight very unique fiction pieces. These were the initial stories. Then I continued to create 23 more and that is how Collection of Auguries came to be. Grateful for the synchronicity which brought us together so these stories could be told with the help of a lens.
A Reflection from the Shore
Oceans are not as blue as they appear in pictures, Emilie Goldstein thought to herself, as she looked at the loud waves reflecting the ashy, overcast sky.
I like the way you capture Emilie Goldstein’s character. I particularly like the way it’s dropped “two sons in their late forties who had yet to bare her grandchildren”. That paints a vivid picture for me.
This story reminds me of the words: “A life lived in fear, is a life half-lived”
She had so much and, yet, the thing that could satisfy her longing is the very thing that she feels is out of her reach.
Such a poignant piece.
You have a wonderful way with description.
Love this!
A well written image to accompany and expand Oliver Fluck’s photo.
I think I may have known and maybe even still know parts of Emilie Goldstein.
To your yellow-brightness,
Sarah
P.S. I love to visit “your house” too!
I sat and read
the store that flowed
I reclined and
watched the sky
as she walked by
think I will come to visit more often
