55 Flash Fiction Friday


I have a bunch of stuff to do tomorrow and we are attending Baz's first art class in the morning, so I did my 55 a day early. Instead of using a picture I found, I decided to use a picture I drew myself using oil pastels. It is my favorite work of art by my favorite artist. Enjoy


The town settled down for the night, turning out their oil lamps one by one. Securing the doors with wood planks in hopes not to hear the claws of the beast scratching against oak doors. Many prayers were said before slipping under the sheets. After all they were safe tonight, the moon was not full.

Brilliant!!!

What an artist you are as well.

Van Gogh's starry night series have always been favorites of mine as well.
The images invoke so many thoughts of dreams and distant memories for me. I could stare at them for hours.
