Here Is Peace
Wind swirls above me whispering its secrets to the world and making each leaf tremble delicately as they echo the song. I close my eyes and listen to the symphony above my head as I lay back with sunshine playing across my closed eyelids.
Footsteps in the grass alert me to a visitor. The light reflects off his hair and brightens his eyes – one green and one brown. He grins and pops open a container and offers it to me. I smile, choose my goodie, and lay back listening to the wind in the trees above me.

Thank you for the welcome! It is a photo I took myself. I was fortunate enough to capture it one morning this past summer when I was up early with my son.
The different colored eyes of your visitor was a nice surprise. Lovely imagery. You set the scene and it felt quite real…the way you described the friend popping open a picnic container of treats…just like a perfect Sunday afternoon interlude. Stated so simply and yet it created a vivid image. Nice work!

Welcome to Voice.club Olivia. The imagery in your story is beautiful. I could picture myself as being there, feel the sun on my face, the wind in my hair – a nice reprieve from our awful wet winter weather. Your accompanying photograph is stunning too. Very nicely done, really looking forward to reading more of your stories 🙂
Thank you so much Carrie!

To Leave Comments - Please SignIn with GoogleA lovely example of really good micro fiction. One brief moment in time, captured with well-chosen words. I especially like the green and brown eyes of the friend. Somehow this detail makes the story even more memorable. Welcome to the club, Olivia. Oh yes, and how nice to know that you took the picture yourself! It’s beautiful.
Your story is like a photo of a precious moment, cut out from the flow of time, Olivia. It shows a happy and relaxed person, enjoying a beautiful piece of nature, like the one in your incredible picture.
This is very beautiful, Olivia – both the story and your photograph. I hope you will write more stories like this. We could all use peaceful moments.
