New Hope (Revisited)

2 Replies

The following piece of fiction is being reposted for Fandango’s Flashback Friday series. “New Hope” was originally published on December 9th, 2021 for Sonya’s Three Line Tales challenge which would seemingly disappear without a trace at the end of that month. Sonya’s weekly prompt was the first writing prompt I’d ever replied to on my blog and really was a turning point in the direction my blog would take. That first #TLT response was called “Forgotten“. I am happy to report that Sonya’s Three Line Tales has recently returned with new challenges. The current challenge can be found here. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this blast from the past…

New Hope

Adam awoke from cryostasis; Eva and their children had not survived the journey.

Eight centuries and sixty-seven years had passed since New Hope catapulted into the cold vacuum of space, towards a new home.

Humanity lost, Adam walked to the edge of Canis Major, the Great Dog Sea, and undeniably knew what it meant to be alone.

Forgotten (Revisited)

Republished for Fandango’s Flashback Friday. Being relatively new to blogging this was the closest I could find to an April 15th post. Although I had published the odd thing from as early as 2013, Forgotten, which first posted on April 5th, 2020, was my first attempt at fiction, the first blog prompt I’d ever participated in and really was the first entry of the current incarnation of Greg’s Blog. I posted to Sonya’s #threelinetales many times before the last challenge posted on December 30, 2021. Hope you enjoy one of my early posts.

Forgotten

Day by day, she numbs her loneliness in the reflections of a lifeless computer screen.

In a far corner, I sit silent, alone and forgotten.

Oh, how I long to feel her soft hands pulling at my (heart) strings, filling the room around us with her beautiful song.

Autobiographical

He wrote some (bad) poetry in his twenties.

Now in his fifties and seeking creative expression,

He would pick up the pen and try again…

Piano Man

She remembers him playing on these keys like it was yesterday.

Her Dad, not Billy Joel, would always be the “Piano Man.”

Holding on to what remains, dancing with the memories resonating from within.

Journey Home

1 Reply

This week’s #TLT Day of the Dead inspired image got me wondering if the dead have rituals they abide by on the other side. Hope you enjoy…

We’d spent the day visiting our loved ones at this year’s ‘Day of the Living’ celebrations and back in the crypt I was feeling sad.

Sitting together, Mom explained, “It is ok to miss our family and friends and someday we will all be together.”

My big sister added, “They must travel their own roads to complete their journey home.” but deep down I just wish they’d hurry up and get here.

Ghost

My Ghost walks the
path I forged in life.

A final turn to survey
all that I leave behind.

Lost and forsaken to
roam the earth forever.

Young Lovers in a Digital Age

Following his remaining senses Ben awkwardly lurched towards Sarah’s voice; hidden behind the camera’s eye,

She’ll let him find her, but not before capturing the foolish boy and posting his antics to TikTok.

When he finally catches her, he wraps her up in his arms and they fall to the ground laughing forever.
