The Songstress
#100StoryChallenge — No65
Some thought the girl a lost fairy princess to have such sway over the powers of melody.
Others believed she was an enchantress who would lure every man into infatuated madness.
But no one need have speculated. She was just a normal girl — born on a farm, raised to be a wife, sentenced to a life not her own.
Until the day she opened her mouth and sang along with the birds.
A passing bard fell in love with her, and the rest was history.
Tonight she would be the king’s guest in a private concert.
And she would triumph.
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.
