A Wonderful Day
Flash Fiction
It’s quite an event.
After several months wandering around the house like little balls of quicksilver, they manage to keep their balance on their two feet. It’s the beginning of a new phase.
Time to go out and face the street comes. The excitement spreads through their bodies and speeds their blood without control.
They open their arms. They put one foot in front of the other and then start walking, each one of them at their own pace. Setbacks and falls are part of the learning process. Nothing to worry about. They explore, lungs wide open, and the world smells different from a new perspective.
Once self-confidence is back, they look at each other’s bare faces and smile, and joy is a contagious trend that seems unstoppable.
Ahead, the city waits for them to return to their workplaces.
Thanks a lot to Dascha Paylor.
