Wall of Words ~ Tryst Fiction
I walked up to the wall where thousands had already stood.
My eyes falling upon the written messages of those who came to see the devastation.
The aftermath of crumbled stone and broken glass was everywhere, in the center of the city.
I run my hand over the wall of words.
The only thing left standing is now a shrine of lyrical hope.

A Lillie McFerrin Piece ~ Five Sentence Fiction
What it’s all about: Five Sentence Fiction is about packing a powerful punch in a tiny fist. Each week I will post a one word inspiration, then anyone wishing to participate will write a five sentence story based on the prompt word. The word does not have to appear in your five sentences, just use it for direction.
This week: WORDS
*****
Verrrry nice line: a shrine of lyrical hope.
Thank you friend. I have stood in a situation much like I tell in this story before… It is moving to see a wall of written hope… 🙂 Thank you for visiting Tryst!! Xo
I really like this, hope after devastation…
Yep. When something went crumbling down to the ground… the people gathered and wrote words of hope on the one remaining stone wall… (I have some personal experience with a situation like this…) Thank you for visiting Tryst! XO ~ Jen
Yes, good! We need to be reminded.
