Losing Polly’s heart hurt. She cupped her soul in the palms of her hands and cast it to the wind. There she hoped it would find another body, one who chose more wisely. If not? Then it would drift amongst the cobwebs in the sky just waiting to be caught.
50 Word Stories – Cobwebs
Published by Richard Ankers
Richard is a writer and author of The Eternals Series published by Creativia. A former Authonomy.com gold medalist, part of HarperCollins, Richard has had many short stories and poetry published and always feels extremely privileged each time. A prolific writer, a constant source of clearing his mind, Richard has created this website to share just some of the many poems and prose he has written that would otherwise have fallen by the wayside. Reading and writing have always been Richard's main love along with the pursuit of keeping fit. Running, walking, and anything that provides a spectacular view always feature highly for him. Running in the rain with his headphones on whilst dreaming up some future storyline is just about perfect. It would be nicer still if that run was in Switzerland or Norway, but we can't have everything. Oh, and coffee, lots and lots of coffee. View all posts by Richard Ankers
What a beautiful idea. I love watching the cobwebs in the sky – much prettier than the ones in the house!
Very true. Thanks, Annabelle. 🙂
I love it! Having your heart broken does split you up.
It sure does, Kristina.
An added touch of beauty to the sky…for a while.
Just a short while. 😉
😊
Beautiful and mystical, Richard. Who knows where the soul goes?
I’m bottling mine. I’ll sell it to the highest bidder. 🤔
That’s the theme in my current WIP – capturing, preserving, and swallowing souls. Great minds think alike. 😀
If you want to use mine as an example, I’ll sell it for a home-baked pie.
Surely it’s worth a chit of gold. 🙂
I’d be happier with chocolate. 🍫
Just awesome. I loved this.
Thanks, Morgan. 🙂
