Can You Hear Me
Flash fiction
It’s been a long time and
I wondered if I could find you. I looked in your special places but you weren’t
there anymore.
Then one day I went for a
walk and something in the air told me that you had been here. Excitement filled
me and I walked faster as if I would run into you.
There I was standing in
the meadow and I scanned the whole area. Then the scent of a certain flower brushed
up against my face.
My eyes went wide and I looked
harder.
I felt something on my
shoulder and I whipped around but there was nothing.
I stood tall and shouted
out, “Where are you? Show yourself.”
There was some rustling
in the tall grass. I held my breath waiting.
Slowly you rose out of
the grass and I smiled. You smiled back.
We stood there for a
moment and stared at each other. I was mesmerized by your wings that were
almost translucent. There was an outline of black at the bottom of your wings
with strong lavender accents.
Your wings flapped and
you spread them out even more, like a butterfly warming on a daisy.
But as quick as our
moment was, I blinked and you were gone.
I called out to you and
all I could see was a lavender flower blowing in the breeze. It stood out on its
own.
I walked over to it but I
never touched it.
I knew that this was
where I would find you when I was out here again.
When I stood to up to
walk away, I thought I could hear something in the distance.
It sounded like, Can you hear me?
