Selkie

flash fiction about the sea and selkies

 I caught the scent of fish and realised she'd managed to find her coat. So imagine my shock when I found her not gone but sitting in the armchair, staring ahead, stroking the coat in her lap.
I just wanted you to know, she whispered, That I would've stayed anyway.

    This is great. I like the fact that it uses smell and touch. The image even gives it a temperature! This is great blog! I'm coming back!

    Oh, ever so slightly similar to something I wrote about my daughter... http://annettehansen.net/2011/05/01/harboured/
    I'm always happy to see a new poem from you, Lisa.

    This really is brilliant writing. You manage to say so much in so few words.
