My dear friend, Jan Ackerson, who has been a mentor and inspiration to many of us at Faithwriters, has a unique blog. 100 Words holds a collection of micro-short stories, each one being only 100 words - no more, no less.
For the A2Z Meme today, I decided to try my hand at 100 Words. (It's not easy!)
(I had a picture, but it will detract from the imagination.)
TRUST ME
"I'm scared!"
"I'm right here. Don't be afraid."
"But I can't see you."
"Trust me. Have I failed you in the past?"
"No."
"And I won't fail you now. Follow my voice."
I inch forward a few steps with my arms flailing before me, trying to touch something--anything!
"That's right. Keep walking. I'm right here."
Confidence begins filling my spirit.
"Now jump."
"Jump?!"
"I'll catch you. Don't be afraid."
I hold my breath and fling myself into the misty unknown.
"See? That wasn't so bad."
My blindfold is removed, and I can see.
"I'm in Heaven!"
"Yes, child."
