Five Sentence Fiction – What it’s all about: Five Sentence Fiction is about packing a powerful punch in a tiny fist. Each week I will post a one word inspiration, then anyone wishing to participate will write a five sentence story based on the prompt word.

reflections of light

spectrum of colors

to hold in my hand

gaze upon daily

and warm my soul.
