MICROCOSM FLASH FICTION CHALLENGE: WEEK 3

Sven and the Fireball Djinni

Hope springs eternal

“Hope,” says the Djinni, “will light the way out of the darkness.”

Sven has no idea if this is real or just a dream. Has he gone crazy?

“Imagine a world where humans live in harmony, take care of each other, and of their planet. Imagine clean air, blue skies, peace and love. Believe it and you can make it real.”

She takes his hand, and he feels a power surge from the soles of his feet up to his heart. His body tingles, eyes fixed on hers. Enchanted.

And he believes in the impossible. He will change the world.

Thanks to Microcosm for the August Rings of Conflict Challenge. In this third week, I am introducing the character’s conflict with the environment in exactly 100 words.

A recent graduate of the Newport MFA and natural-born troublemaker, I’m a top writer in Reading on Medium. My poetry and prose have appeared in Brevity, Multiplicity, and Voices of the Valley Anthology.
