From the bridge

I look down

upon the frozen creek

and see a red mitten

bobbing  under the ice.

    The visual I got from this would make an incredible painting. Just thought I’d share. Thank you for the beautiful imagery!

    Haunting … and yet so tragically beautiful.

    I was hoping for a final twist but still like it.

    I love this! Every time I see a lost mitten or glove or sock, I wonder how it came to be lost!

    This has a flash fiction feel to it – it makes me want to know the story of the “red mitten”

    This seems so simple but paints such an amazing picture in the reader’s head!
