Unto the Seventh Generation

Visit Mr.Knowitall to post your own Friday Flash Fifty-Five Fiction!

The cry of the Hawk, the spring hatchling now flown meant soon his world would be mere sound.  For a man, now dust in the wind, had made bones of a country and punishment for his kin. 


As Joash screamed for his son, he hoped, as had his father, that he would be the last.

  2. The eternal struggle, well-limned here--a very satisfying cadence and series of images, as well.

Welcome and thanks for dropping in. I'll pop by yours by and by.

This blog was inspired by First 50 words where you freewrite from a single word prompt. I use random words or images to create flash fiction in formats ranging from twitter postcards to short short stories.
