Today I’m taking part in February 15 Flash Fiction Challenge for Charli over at Carrot Ranch. The prompt is; In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story on ice.
Romantic notions in a young maidens head,
Seeking out her kindred spirit, gullible and blithe.
She watched the man across the room, eyes met,
Her’s green like precious emeralds, his were icy blue.
So began his obsession, his something new,
A faithful damsel to fuel his insolence.
He stole her soul and beat it down,
She became a prisoner in his petulant world.
Two thousand days of torment and suffering
In the heavy hands of a furious man.
Void of compassion, frost in his veins,
His heart was colder than ice.
Freedom for the maiden came with a price!

Yay! Tasheenga came over to the Ranch to play! Yet, not a playful flash. You captured the coldness in those veins.
