You should be singing.

His voice filtered through to her on the wind, in the grass underfoot and echoing, in the the blood in her head. She looked down at the roughly hewn stone, running her alabaster fingers into the lettered grooves and around their curves.

Author's Comments

Idea from :deviconforeverhope:

"This is called 55-fiction. It's an exercise where you have to write an entire story in 55 words or less (the title doesn't count, but it can't be longer than eight words.) It's challenging to do, but fun and makes you look at writing in a whole different way. I dare you to write one of these; you'll be glad you did. It'd be cool if we could get a category for these going. "

I could never resist a dare.

This is 51 words, and I have named it -for now- 'Silent'.

Comments and crit are love.
EDIT - fixed 'in he blood' Thanks for alertin me kids! :P

It's cool. Great bit of short work. Usually I'd try critique, but this is difficult enough as it is and I loved your last line. 'The he blood'? Ah well. Nice prose, especially working with the short form. :) I love reading these...
