Welcome to the weekly interpretation of a photo we affectionately call the Friday Fictioneers. Each week Rochelle Wisof-Fields sets out a visual prompt and we, her humble lackeys, pound our keyboards in search of a fitting one hundred word description of what we see.

This week’s photo is from Jennifer Pendergast and is one of the more challenging to me of late.
Genre (General Fiction)
Kara’s head spun as she looked up into the spiraling staircase.
John was up there, she knew he was.
If she could just overcome her fear and ascend the steps they could finally be together.
She made sure to stay as close to the wall as possible as she ascended. “No looking down,” she told herself.
At the top of the stairs she called for John.
She heard his voice, but it came from far below.
A look over the top rail revealed him standing at the bottom, with his heart warming smile, dimples cutting into his cheeks.
Joe's Musings 
Hi Joe, she obviously loves him a lot to push herself like that. Like Lingeringvisions I wonder how she will get on coming back down! Nice story.
it’s not often I read a heart warming story from our little group. Nice to finally read one. Well done!
I thank you for the kind words. i try to give a positive spin to my 100 word bursts. With more to work with I might introduce a conflict so that I can work to resolve it.
Dear Joe,
Good read from a tough prompt.
Aloha,
Doug
Thanks Doug. Glad to see you here.
Very good story, in its simplicity it stills have many way to be understood. Great
Hi Joe
I thought this was great! I wonder if he was winding her up – I bet there’s a lift and when she gets to the bottom he’ll be back up at the top 😀
You are more creative than I. This option did not occur to me. I am glad you dropped by and shook some words off your feet. 😉
Rochelle’s comment was the “aha” moment! He came down to meet her 🙂 beautiful!
