This is my first post for #SaturdayScenes.
I hope you enjoy it and will come back next week for another #SSFlashFiction tale!
Prompt: FIVE SENTENCE FICTION - DOOR
[source] |
She approached the old wooden door, hanging in the frame by a thread and softly knocked, her head pounding a synchronous warning to be careful, jumping back as the door swung open, seemingly creaking in pain on the rusty hinges, then cautiously stuck her head inside whispering, "Hello, is anyone here?"
Darkness enveloped the interior, lit only by a stream of sunshine as the door swung wider, a soft keening sound coming from the corner of the room.
She turned on the flashlight she pulled from her back pocket and searched for the source of the sound, biting her lip as she saw the source, a small malnourished puppy in the corner.
She carefully picked him up, smiling as he licked her face and crooned, "It's okay now little one, you're going to be fine, you're rescued and coming home with me forever."
What a sweet ending.

ReplyDeleteI love the happy ending, great twist after the tense build-up. I was so sure something sinister was going to happen!
ReplyDeleteThank you ALL for stopping by and commenting...I almost went dark at the end but preferred the image of a puppy rescue. ;)
ReplyDeleteI can see how your story could go either way. Perhaps the next time that hppens you can treat us to both!
DeletePoor puppy :) It's funny how much of a fine line there can be between dark and uplifting.
ReplyDeleteWhoaaa...you saved this piece from going dark ;) Loved the sweet ending! :)
