What Will They See?
Vocal Community Microfiction Series - Photography
Were they hoping to catch the next Kiss of Life?
To show the world that smartphone photos - angled, filtered and framed just right - could win anyone a Pulitzer Prize?
Or were they just trying to generate their daily quota of likes?
Such were my thoughts as I lay upon the fountain pool, broken by a fall from a fourth storey window.
As the waters jetted crimson into the air I turned to face the crowd and wondered:
If everyone was going to look, how many of them will actually see?

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Draft with Revisions
My father told me what life was. You go to school. You get a job. You earn money. You retire. My father didn’t offer this as advice, no. He described it as routine, a set way of doing things that had worked before. Years of hardship, repetition, and caution shaped this path. There was no room for discussion. I never questioned it because that seemed pointless, even wasteful, and waste was not allowed in that system.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Men’s room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reilly’s Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckee’s Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

Awesome writing 📝👀💯Great Questions...
I Iove your idea here Loryne and particularly your last line!☺️
Ahhh, this was very deep and thought provoking!
Excellent question.
This is great!
Loryne, this is one of your best, it has layers upon layers. Well done
It is unfortunate, that when people see things like this now adays, their first instinct is to take their phones out.. and not to call 999 (or 911).
I really love your work... It's Amazing !!! Well done Loryne.
