Welcome to FB3X Drabble Cascade #159 - This week's word of the week is'turbulent'.
CURSES
Jessica paced and searched the
sky for the lightning promised with each loud explosion of thunder. As the
storm intensified in strength so did her anxiety. Her nightly prayers the same,
a plea to the gods, please lift this curse
and free me from captivity?
Despite the worsening weather,
Arnold was on time. Jessica hurried into the kitchen to make sure dinner was
ready.
She poured his martini and opened
the door to greet him.
Lightning filled the sky and it seemed as though time stood still,
but Arnold didn't. The strike threw him into the neighbor's yard.
Curse lifted!

Flash fiction amazes me. I cannot imagine how people do it but it certainly is fun to read.

Poetic justice in seeing someone struck by lightning. Very cool!
Great read!!! Thank you for sharing.
Another winner, but wouldn't it have been simpler for her to just get a divorce? :)

Thanks. I probably will in future, but I'm still too drained from the A to Z to take on any new challenges.
