VisDare: Atmospheric

My hat goes off to all those people who do VisDare week in and week out with the same story...  It's not as easy as it looks and it took me multiple attempts to come up with one this week to continue the story from the last two weeks.  Whorl (part 1) -  Waiting (part 2)

So, yeah, if you haven't read my last two visdare's you will probably want to read them before this one.  :)

“I haven’t been home.”

“I would think not,” she leaned against the rail beside him, “It’s beautiful, the smell…okay the smell isn’t that much better than the bar but still beautiful.”

He never saw it the night before but now in the morning light, through his own sleepless haze he noticed her smile for the first time.  “I’m Alan.”

“Kimberly.”

  2. So very sweet. What started as so bleak and incidental is lilting into a beautiful opening to...something. Lovely work, Steven. Always love it when you toss a VisDare into the ring. :)
