The Giant (microfiction in 160)

July 25, 2010 by moondustwriter

She opened her eyes

what did she see?

A giant

the size of the sea.

He had hands

so big and strong,

but his moon size smile told her

nothing was wrong.

She smiled back.

    Once again you struck a chord with me. Reminds me of a tale my mom told me when I was a little boy. Great 160 and thank you for being part of it.
