 Dozens of memorable moments, each exactly 100 words (plus a "trilogy") |
| One blinding May morning, scarlet poppies waved. The soldier walked a line of white markers, a satchel of American flags on his back, staking one at each anonymous memorial to a fallen comrade. Memories whispered mockingly in his ears: his mom crying. His dad's funeral. Mournful taps. What's the point? Why am I following in his footsteps? He straightened, every post now adorned with a fluttering flag. A mother approached, pushing her child in a stroller. "Thank you for protecting us." Her gratitude renewed his resolve, echoing the clarion call to preserve and defend his people, no matter the cost. Words: 100. Written for the May 2025 Bard's Hall, And also for the Honoring Our Veterans Challenge. Prompt: image of an American soldier adding flags to grave markers. |
