Falling Castles
#100StoryChallenge — No85
In her dreams, the kingdom in the sky fell in rubble around her.
She floated in the sky, no wings to hold her aloft, and watched as the castle crumbled.
Stones that had been once a part of the foundation chipped away, and she had to move out of the way in case they crushed her.
Could a person die in a dream? She didn’t want to find out.
Right above her, like a fragment of a miracle, was the heart of the castle.
It beat with a soft glow in danger of sputtering out.
She had to save it.
This is a part of my endeavor to go back to writing tighter fiction with more stringent word counts. It’s just one attempt at the 100 Story Challenge because I thought it would be a good exercise to do to keep my imagination sharp. We’ll see how it goes.
