We've made it to another glorious Friday, and talk about a picture being worth a thousand words! As always, my friends and I get together on Fridays and muse over an inspirational pic. There's only one rule - we each have to tell our story in 100 words. I must warn you - I'm waxing rather deep today. When you're finished here, take a look at my friends' versions. Hope you enjoy!
Challenge
“I can’t survive without you.”
Knotted muscles landed on unforgiving stones, fists
clenched.
Nails, hard
from tilling the ground, drove into his palm, drawing obscene crimson rivulets.
Endless wandering, traversing unknown lands flashed before him, horror unimaginable.
His ears rang, multiple voices unified, entering his mind. “You
will never be without me.”
“But no one will want me. No one will care for me.”
He kept his gaze down. “You always loved him more.”
“Cain.”
His heart sank, disappointment made one with his
name, then crippling pain seized him, God’s finger etched into bare skin.
“By this mark, all will know that you are mine.”
