Friday Flash 55 #3




The glass blower tossed bits and bobs from his craft into the river that lead to the sea. During low tides these scraps returned as tumbled fairy gems, washing onto the beach or burrowing up from the sands. Magical beach combing had brought them together until she realized it was only magic, not love.

Exactly 55 words in a sensible story? Ratso - I'm still trying to figure out Haiku ...

Nice story and picture! Such a shame - all those people who never have the chance to find beach glass!

Ah - but love and magic are very closely linked.

Gorgeous photo to go with your words.

(Have you considered removing the word verification from your blog?)
