This is my 100 word challenge #2! The prompt was this photo.
He was enjoying a nice stroll through the woods. He had been at his father’s funeral only two days ago, and this walk was his attempt to hide from his feelings. The birds chirped and the cool breeze grazed his face. He closed his eyes and decided to take in the sounds of the forest. He heard birds singing and leaves crunching then, suddenly, a voice. He shivered and turned. The voice sounded too similar to be the wind. He looked further into the forest and saw a nothing but an oddly shaped tree. Very familiar, almost human shaped.
Thank you! Hoped you enjoyed, it was tough staying under the limit because I kept wanting to add more details and make this into a story. Till tomorrow!

Patrick,
Is it a voice from the grave? Could it be his father’s voice, reaching out to provide comfort to his grieving son? These 100 Word Challenges are so fascinating to read…but I always want the story to continue. HA HA! It’s like a teaser! 🙂
BTW, I love how you created a photo collage for your sweet dogs. That’s simply adorable! I’m glad you’ve spent some time personalizing this space. 🙂
See you next week,
Mrs. Rombach
Hello Patrick,
I loved your story and I wish you could have had more words too!!
I love the idea that it was his father reaching out to comfort from beyond the grave.
Great description of the leaves crunching, the birds chirping, etc. You really built a clear picture in my mind.
Well done!
