Only A Dream

Hi Everyone. I'm trying the Friday Fictioneers photo prompt from Rochelle Wisoff-Fields' blog, Addicted to Purple. The challenge is to write a story about the photo in 100 words or less. Here is my story, "It's Only A Dream".





It's Only A Dream
91 Words

The whispers, late at night when the overseers slept, carried hope, hope that our lives could change.
Being a Grub was hard. We worked all day, never left the dungeons, and only met the Carriers when it was time to breed. We never saw the Place of Light. All we had were our dreams.


Each night we looked forward to stories of the Time Before and wild tales about our wished-for future. Tonight a hushed voice added another dimension to the dream of escape. "What if the Goodlaw built multiple domes?"

  1. Intriguing! A lot of world-building in a small space! I'd like to hear more about that world. Great, Margo!

  2. Dear Margo,

    Welcome to Friday Fictioneers with your imaginative tale. You did a wonderful job of setting the tone and telling a complete story that left me wanting to know more.

    I look forward to reading more from you.

    Shalom,
