I’m trying to keep up on the fiction challenge for this month. Today I’ll post using the photo prompt at Friday Fictioneers by Rochelle Wisoff -Fields.
I haven’t posted here for long while I was in my slumber. And before I get into hibernation again I better make good use of the time I have in hand!
So here’s the photo prompt followed by my 100 word story.

I’ll be Free
Not a single person… no visitor!
This is how they treat their princess!
No attendants, no men around.
Doesn’t anyone remember the time when princes and kings flocked my court?
There wasn’t a single damsel more beautiful in the world. And they dared to call me evil?
They were jealous… wretched jealous hidebound priests.
Look at me… my beauty still knows no bounds…not even after thousand years.
You cannot keep me chained here in this isle forever.
I’ll break the shackles… I’ll be free… I’ll wait as long as it takes someone to land here… but I’ll be free.

Love this story brought about by the photo prompt. Well done.
Nice take on the prompt! 🙂
Beautiful inspirational writing – and the image is amazing, even more so after reading your 100 word story
Thanks Francene
Thanks Tarang
Thank you so much Donna, thanks for dropping by
Great story!
Thanks
it will be a different world then when she earns her freedom. hope she gets used to it.
Wow, that's awesome! I could this in my mind. I'd love to read a short story based on this prompt. 🙂
I hope so too
Thanks for your appreciation Perfectly Santa. Maybe I'll develop it in a story one day
Dear Tina,
I don't think it's a good idea to set this being free. Good story.
Shalom,
Rochelle
PS There's no 'e' in Wisoff.
Yeah no way it can be set free.
Thanks
And so sorry for the extra e!
Lovely story.
I was wondering what kind of princess this is, being shackled for so long. Maybe a dragon, a goddess, a monster? Very intriguing, great story.
That raises lots of question about the princess! Nicely done Tina !
Don't do it, Tina. Don't set her free. There's enough evil in the world without adding one more 🙂
Thanks
She is some kind of an evil spirit of an evil princess
Thanks a lot
Yup not setting her free for sure
