#RomanticFridayWriters - #AtoZChallenge - Dribbles, Drabbles, Droubbles - Flash Fiction - W is for 'Was his search over?'

Welcome to RomanticFridayWriters!

RFW is about short short writing or flash fiction (usually 400 words), less for poems, with some romantic element. It's not Romance of the happily ever after variety, but Romantic, where it's about the story, the issue, with some romantic relationship involved. Our stories are edgy, sometimes dark, and often don't have the HEA ending! 

It's widely agreed that most fiction (unless it's solely about animals) begins and ends with human characters: their frailties, virtues, conflicts and expectations. In our stories for the A - Z Challenge the writers attempt to more closely observe the people around us...

A Drabble

W is for...

‘Was his search over...Magnolia virginiana? Hmm.' 

He twirled the dried flower in his hand, its whiteness showing signs of fading. The collection was strikingly similar to Rachel’s arrangement.

His childhood memories were hazy at best, but some retained their clarity. The vanilla scent had soothed him through those difficult years and now seemed to waft around.

Three years of devoted research had brought him to their doorstep. Their initial reluctance had faded under his passionate plea; he wasn’t one to give up easily.

The foster parents had been kind enough to leave him alone in, what, might be his playmate’s room.

A late 30's time travelling to 25 ever so often...aspiring to write better short stories, novellas and poetry. A paradox of thoughts, moods, desires, named Rekha Seshadri. A crybaby, hyper sensitive, shy soul who has been shaped by life to become resilient and thicker skinned. My brain is like a tiny collider; rational and irrational thoughts hit, miss and leave a messy trail behind that's narcissistically called words & verse. A Chronicle Of Dreams is my writing pad,exercise tool for mind and heart...and Unframed Imprints, a dumping ground for my not so great clicks...Do potter around but at your risk.
