Dreaming
The old man shook the sleeping couple. “Wake up!”
“Where … who …” Denis was too groggy to be coherent.
“Quick, what did you dream?” The old man fired the question at him.
“Thundering waterfall … vast caves … blue eyes … a song.”
“And you, Katya?
“Bottomless chasm … silk … shining city … white stallion.”
The old man stared at them both for a minute, then solemnly announced, “Your dreams say we must travel far.”
“But the forest door …” Katya reminded him.
“At the end of our quest. It will be many moons before we return to these woods. Now prepare. Tomorrow we begin our journey.”

I never would have written any of this as a 350 word story, Carrie. It is best as one-scene plays which will eventually unfold into an overall whole. We do, in fact, live our lives in moments, not as an over-arching story. Thanks so much for reading!
Yes, serialised stories seem to be the thing at the moment. I’m sure that I saw that Amazon is starting something new where they are serialising stories, but I can’t find the link now.
