Microdosing prompt: Torment, 100 mg

That’s a super real hoot Tracy, in and of itself. It stands alone blinking on and off, really really realistic funny like off the map hilarious, in my affectionately cra cra mind!

The Running

Portrays a multidimensional space and mental thought in a short word span, I love its brevity, and abrupt stop, making me wonder for more, brilliant.

And the intriguing photo by Bruno Martins with its peculiar light and the mysterious hatted man, with the elders sitting over yonder shoulder to shoulder on a park bench, very captivating.

Tracy, you are not limited by your imagination, and that tickles me pink.

Sleep well, G

I so value your readership and commentary, Gealdine! You have captured a bit of what I found as I finished this odd little micro- is it more about the Runner or about the man on the bench… 🤔😉🥰🥰 Thanks so much for your time and support-it means much to me! 🙏🏼✨✨

Wonderful originality, Tracy!!

There is a strong dichotomy between the man on the bench and the girl running. She is free as a bird, and the bench seems to imprison him. ✨

Yes, he was a low key stalker of sorts. After I wrote it, I was left to consider which of the two were facing eternal torment. Thank you for reading and commenting. These shorts leave much room for ambiguity and multiple interpretations.
