W is for Will
The pieces fell into place. I knew what I was supposed to do. But what if they were wrong? What if I wasn't the One? Maybe I'd gotten this far merely based on their lies. I would find out soon enough. Everything came down to this moment. The cold steel was heavy in my hands. I had a choice, but would I make the "right" one? Have I ever made my own choices or have I simply followed the path the universe set before me? From now on I would be remembered, but as a hero or a demon I knew not.
Ok that's my random flash fiction on free will. Hope you liked it.
Here's a random question...Why are there so many great "W" words? What is it about a letter that lends itself to create more words and words? And why do they seem to have similar qualities? It seemed to me that the letter "V" has a lot of depressing or dark words, like vile, venomous, and voracious, but "W" has wonder and waterfall and willing, and many other more uplifting words. Just wondering.
Have a weird and wonderful day!!

Interesting snippet of flash fiction. W stands for Wild dogs of the African plains. :) I must tell you, it took me days to come up with a word beginning with W for my African theme.
ReplyDeleteI've been reading blogs all day and am amazed at the diversity of uses for the letter "W".
Anyway, I enjoyed your little fiction taster.
Blessings, Geoff.
Possible we have so many W words is the languages of origin? Germanic and Nordic? I don't know. Just a thought.
ReplyDeleteIf only we knew someone who had majored in linguistics in college. Well, we wouldn't wonder why W was wepresented (OK, that's a stwetch)with wholesome waterfall words, would we? :)
ReplyDeleteEach day, when I start reading your blog, I don't know if you are writing about your thoughts, observations, experiences, or a flash fiction - all of which I enjoy. I like the mixture and not knowing which way it is going to be until I read it because it gives me a sense of excitement. I enjoyed your flash fiction! Love, your MIL
ReplyDeleteThat's because W is like double V for victory!
ReplyDeleteThere are far too many great "W" words - I had a hard time determining which was worth writing about; so it took me all day to write my post. Yours, by the way, is a good piece of FF.
