Seeking Solitude for the End of the World? Friday Fictioneers. #amwriting

PHOTO PROMPT © Danny Bowman

The end of the road is really not an end.  I embarked on this journey to find a final home in solitude.  Society was in shambles; natural disasters were abundant.

I packed necessities and a super strong tent.  Two flat tires later (I learned to change them myself), I had to rely on a friendly old native Arizona man when I ran out of gas. Darn cars,  I should’ve just walked.  Would I survive?

Now, I find a young fellow encamped over the hill, painting whatever he sees.

We will either be great friends, or I’m on the road again.

~The End~  (In a somewhat open ending…)

*A 100 word story.

  1. Your story gives proof to that old cliche: No man is an island. We often don’t realize just how dependent we are on the help of other people. Thinking ourselves independent, unwittingly we become takers and don’t ever think we need to give back.

  2. Can hear Elvis crooning, “Are you lonesome tonight…” and the beginning of a new love’s journey. My optimism I guess. 🙂 I love your Blog Header Pamela. Cheerio!
