5 Sentence Fiction Foggy


Well, this is short! When I saw the prompt, all I could think about was my Highway Man which fits perfectly. But been there, done that so had to rethink and took a different angle of ‘foggy’ altogether . . . Must be the time of year! xxxx  


What it’s all about: Five Sentence Fiction is about packing a powerful punch in a tiny fist. Each week I will post a one word inspiration, then anyone wishing to participate will write a five sentence story based on the prompt word. The word does not have to appear in your five sentences, just use it for direction.
 
So here is my attempt at Foggy.



Everyone said it was going to be fine.
 Everyone said just relax and don’t worry about it.
Easy for them to say.  
It wasn’t their mind that was now thick with a dense fog that hung heavily; every gap where a spark of thought started to form was soon swamped that I could no longer see any way forward, as beads of sweat appeared on my brow.  
And I had just sat down at the all too familiar table for my life changing exam . . .

  1. I love the view of foggy that you have written from!!! The all too familiar 'mind goes blank'. And yes, very appropriate for this time of year. It makes me feel so sorry for people in this situation (namely my son). I do love this one Mrs. K. xxxx

  2. I did check my emails and found nothing from you lol. As for my son, that situation happened for him last Thursday. His mind went blank. Thinks he did rubbish but hopefully he is wrong. Haven't got the results yet. And you are welcome for the comment. I say what comes into my head. I speak the truth. xxxx

  5. Well captured! I remember it well. Even worse when you know you know the stuff, you just don't seem to be able to unlock it from your brain.
