Five Sentence Fiction – The Symbol of Hope

The sound of distant speed pulled his eyes upwards into the blue and the smile to his cheeks. Reaching up with his free hand towards the two sliver streaks, his fingers danced with the two angels above. He wanted to catch them like fireflies and bottle them away, so that they would keep him safe always. He wanted to jump into the clouds and fly with them, to feel the wind in his face and hear the rumbles of thunder grow dimmer behind him.

Most of all, he wanted to be one of them; fearless and brave knights who were never brought down.


Lookie what I found, a new Five Sentence Fiction challenge! It’s been a long time since I was able to be descriptively wordy, but still restrained by a framework of some kind.

I hope you all enjoy.
