Gotcha, the flash fiction prompt is an image this time. Just take a look at the picture and start writing. Don’t think too hard about it and if you forgot what this is all about check out the first flash fiction prompt for direction.
Good luck!

Somehow I’d never thought of myself as a frozen branch before. A little surprising given the level of introspection that comprised my day in, day out existence.
Yet there I was introspecting and rehashing insights once again. All initiated by looking out my office window at a refugee robin perched upon what I came to think of as my very soul.
The people knew were all accidental tourists seeking no more than minimal support. A respite from their own weighty worlds. Perhaps a perch to gain new perspective in their search for sustenance and meaning.
I’m sorry Natalie, our time is up for this week. Yes, it certainly did fly by. Let’s continue this next week, shall we?
As Natalie made her way out the door, I looked out the window once again. The robin was gone. The now empty frozen branched trembled slightly in the receding light of a late afternoon winter day.

The snow was three inches deep now, piled on the branches and rocks and grass that surrounded the fresh grave. It fell without sound, undriven by wind.
She watched the whiteness grow around her from beneath the branches of a maple in December slumber. She knew the remains of the life cut short, lying beneath snow and frozen earth, would not move again, but this did not stop a small, uncharted piece of her soul from hoping. Hours passed unnoticed. She watched.
Darkness and hunger finally drove her from her obsession toward home and warmth and light. The ratty end of her scarf caught and knocked the snow from a branch as she left the cemetary.
She didn’t notice. She just walked slowly toward the fading light.
