Every week Rochelle posts a pic and encourages everyone to write a 100 word story based on it. The photo prompt for this week is:

Here’s my story:
Just Another Day!
I was sitting on the beach, brooding, when I first saw her, pirouetting on the sand impeccably. Brimming with mirth, her face exuded exceptional radiance. Watching her play with the waves somehow helped me in accepting this new phase.
My life ended abruptly because of an accident, landing me here. In heaven. And finally my soul has found its match which I never did when alive. I feel liberated and elated.
Now swinging on the moon, juggling the stars, dancing on the waves, flying in the air, throwing cloud balls at each other is like just another day. In paradise.

A nice thought. Well done.
Just imagining heaven to be all that.. :-) Thank you for dropping by.
different take and nicely done
Thanks. Glad to hear that. :-)
My goodness, where did that come from…?
That was so ‘out of left field’ it has me smiling from ear to ear…! ;)
Lovely thoughts, and well done…!
I agree!
I have no idea what I was thinking hehe.. But wouldn’t be bad if i could do all that in heaven! :-)
Thanks for reading.
I have no idea what I was thinking. Saw the pic and thought of heaven and went there quite literally hehe.. :-) But wouldn’t be bad if i could do all that in heaven! :-)
Thanks for reading.
Cleverly constructed…bit by bit…nice softness of scene..
Thanks.. Am glad you think so. :-)
very nice
Thanks. :-)
You say something completely different here. Heavenly. :-)
janet
You “saw” something different. Sigh.
Yea.. I went all the way to heaven and back! :-) Thanks.
Heavenly!
Yes. Heavenly it is. Thanks for reading.
I can think of far more than a mere 100 words for this photo… have tucked it into my inspiration file for a scene in Fragments, but I’m no where near where I need that scene to be at this moment. It speaks to me of really needing to be right near the crux, the pivotal moment where the whole story hangs on the balance between the sane and insane…the healthy and sick… the bridge to heaven or hell. I just love bridges and what they can lead to or from, they are soo very inspirational. Thank you for posting this…
Ach, I fear I’ve commented on the wrong prompt post…sorry. I really did enjoy your take and perspective on this pic! :) In fact, it leaves me picturing loved ones on heaven’s shores…it is awesome to picture them so happy and carefree as opposed to fighting the pain they were suffering here. Again, thank you! O:)
No worries. :-) Thanks for a wonderful comment. Yes it sure feels good to imagine afterlife like that for loved ones..
so the same person who was dancing in the waves is now up in “paradise”? just making sure. well done.
Oh! Yes. The beach is in heaven… The story is he’s moping because of his accidental death when he sees her so ecstatic and thinks maybe death isn’t a bad thing at all.. He or his soul instead finds a connection with her as she’s one of those souls already in heaven.. So both of them together dance “on” the waves because they can do that or do all other things which being alive one can’t and finds it all nothing out of the ordinary. Hope this clears it.
Just a silly fantasy of how heaven will be like! :-)
not silly at all. thanks.
Thanks. :-)
Wonderful take, I also reacted on the songtitle in the end, that brought back memories from the 80s though the paradise there was pure irony. Intentional or not it worked for me.
Yes I remember that song from Phil Collins.. Another day in paradise.. Of course nowhere close to this! :-) I meant to end the story at just another day but somehow felt incomplete without “in paradise” and that’s because of the song so yea somehow that was related.. Thanks for reading.
A beach in heaven. A very lovely thought.
Oh yea now what fun would that be? :-) Thanks for reading.
What a lovely story! Great Job!
Thanks for dropping by and reading. :-)
The romantic turn makes my tummy all jumbly.
Kidding. It’s a cute story, and very well done at that. Good job.
Hehe.. Thanks for dropping by and reading. :-)
Really nice take on the picture. One of my favorites so far! :-)
Awww.. Now that comment is a keeper! :-) Thanks for dropping by and reading.
This is a cool story. Learning to live (again). Everyone needs a muse. This heaven sounds great!
Yea.. Rightly said. I guess nothing sounds fun like a beach in the heaven. What more can one ask for? :-) Thanks for reading.
I love the fun-loving imagery you use of swinging on the moon and juggling stars. A day in paradise.
I guess for them it’s more like days in paradise.. :-) Thanks for reading.
Really lovely! The photo really evokes a heavenly feel, doesn’t it? Your story is a wonderful interpretation of the prompt, and a beautiful look into Heaven!
Yes, indeed. Something really heavenly about the pic. :-) Thanks for dropping by and reading.
awwwww swinging on the moon, juggling the stars, throwing cloud balls at each other…….. how very beautiful..
Thanks, Kz.. :-)
Very original and well written, muZer…
*hugs*
Thanks, M.. Glad you liked it. :-)
Lovely images you have conjured up in my mind .
It’s fascinating reading your fiction challenges :-)
Awww. Thanks for your sweet words. Hope to keep you entertained. :-)
Dear Muzer,
Lovely. Indeed heaven for me would have to have an ocean.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks Rochelle. Always look forward to your comment. Glad you liked this one. :-)
A nice place to spend a forever. Nice take on the photo.
It sure would be. :-) Thanks for reading.
It’s my idea of Heaven too. The only way it will become hell is if there are sharks. That’s about the only thing I fear.
Uh oh! I’d never want sharks too. Since I’m the creator of the fantasy so I’ll have dolphins instead of the sharks. :-) Thanks for reading and for the lovely pic that took me to heaven and back! :-)
You’re welcome sweetheart.
:-)
Sun and sand puts you in a more relaxed state of mind for sure. Thanks for this relaxation exercise.
It sure does. Thanks for reading.
hi muZer,
I hope this is really how it is. You took the prompt to a higher plane. Very creative. Ron
I hope so too. :-) Thanks for dropping by and reading.
Okay, so it’s fiction poetry, but inspired… It’s not my typical take on things, but it is different. Here’s the link, and I hope it spooks you…. http://wordgardenpoetica.wordpress.com/2013/01/25/friday-fictioners-bridge/
It sure did spook me out but a great take on the pic. :-) Thanks for the link here.
I could take that. “Swinging on the moon,” “dancing on the waves,” “flying in the air” — wow, she’s got some moves! Yeah, for being dead, I could definitely take that.
Hehe.. I think anyone would! :-) Thanks for reading.
that last paragraph is a sweet confection. I see it happening, it’s real.
I just felt it would be amazing to be able to do all that in heaven. :-) Thanks for dropping by and reading.
one of my favorites this week. the image is still with me. :)
Awww.. Thanks. Yay.. :-)
I just discovered Rochelle Wisoff-Fields and have just posted my first flash fiction. It was fun.
I like yours. Hope to be reading more.
Also thank you for the like.
I also joined a few weeks back and it’s kind of addictive. :-) Good to have you on board and liked your take on the pic too! Look forward to reading more of your stories in the coming weeks. Thanks for dropping by and reading.
Thanks.
Also looking forward to reading more of yous.
It should be fun.
Let the fun begin! :-) Until Wednesday then…
I picture my heaven to be that beautiful as well!
We can only hope.. But we have a long way to go before that.. :-) Thanks for reading.
‘…throwing cloud balls at each other…’ – a beautiful image.
Glad you like it. Thanks for reading.
