Sticks

       Michael and Katie gathered sticks together from the forest floor as they strolled back to camp. 

      “If I hold it all together in front of me they are transformed into a bridal bouquet of  roses and gardenias!” she hinted. 

       He smirked, grasping her hand. His kindling would provide a romantic ambiance.

    1. tulika, probably because you can only do so much with so few words. I try to get a full story into those few words but often they end up like this one, open ended with the reader happily filling in the blanks or wanting more, which isn't too bad either. I am pleased you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥

    1. jannatwrites, you know stupid me...I didn't even THINK of that when I wrote this. Sometimes I am so dense but this would be a great setting for a romantic proposal and she is primed to say YES. LOL Thanks for stopping by and for your sweet comments! ♥

  11. I'm wondering whether he proposed or did he use it to burn their romance out?
    was it just her perspective? :D

    nicely done Kathy!
