FIAF #5

PORTRAIT

"It's not really white, is it?  But it's exquisite!  That iridescent pink was perfect for the ceremony.  And the hat!  I want to swoon!"

The old lady's tears hid in the creases of her wrinkled cheeks.  Had it been so long ago?  She was that woman still, frozen in that day of love and loss.

It's not really a group, love. It's just a thing I host on my page. The challenge is posted every Saturday...it's a picture challenge. I'll send you the link. Just look for a "Fiction in a Flash" blog every Saturday morning and you can follow the directions if you want to participate.

Loss? Did someone shoot her groom at the altar? That would be just...awesome.
