For those who are new, Rochelle shares a photo prompt to which several #FridayFictioneers compose a 100-word flash of fiction. Come, rest your bones.
Here’s my contribution:
Do Unto Others
The paper was stowed within a corked, blue bottle, opaquing in the surf, well on its way to becoming sea-glass. Hand scribed letters, themselves masterpieces, were woven into a simple phrase.
Do unto others.
Jolie, admiring her find as she approached the resort entrance, read aloud and became suddenly woozy, the sun pierced, as if she’d been wandering a desert.
The hotel facade appeared to bubble, sections sloughed revealing human skulls with hollow eye sockets. The paper slid from her grasp and settled upon the walkway.
Impregnated within the script, given life by utterance, the swallowing darkness bade Jolie welcome.

The Bradley Chronicles 
Damn, that’s fantastic š
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Oooh, spookey stuff. Another good one from the Chronicler š
Thank you, Lyn. Come again and visit.
Nicely creepy, JKB. “Hand-scribed” would likely be one word, giving you one more to play with if you’d like.

I need a, what are they called? Oh, an editor. I really do.
Thank you, Janet!
If that’s the worst mistake you ever make, I think you’ll be fine! š
Enjoy your day!
janet
well done !
Thank you for coming by and reading.
Vivid visualls. I liked the “opaquing in the surf”, also how you flowed from the simple upbeat tone do a sudden decent into grim inevitability.
Thank you, Steve. I appreciate your stopping by and reading.
Fantastic imagination… I really admire your writing.. š
Thank you, Carolyn. I’m just putting down into words what the voices tell me. Please, come visit again.
Your precision weaves deep stories. And your description of the building’s transformation works very well with the Gaudi. A dark, inventive take on this week’s prompt.
Thank you so much, Dave. I appreciate you taking the time to share.
This is very imaginative. And I loved that you used opaque as a verb. In fact, I loved everything about it!
Thank you very much, Linda. Please, come and visit again.
Oooooh. I don’t spook easy, but oooooh! Extremely well done! This is just really good on several levels!
Thank you so much, Penny. Please come visit again!
Nice flash mystery.
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed!
That’s great. You matched the feel of the picture perfectly.
Thank you so much, David!
Dear JK,
Beautiful imagery descending to the depths of creepy. Might I add you did it well, Sir.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you so much, Rochelle.
Word Weaver is what you are, my friend.
Thank you so much, Troy.
This is pretty bloody fantastic. On another level, in fact. I loved ‘given life by utterance’ and ‘opaquing’.
Thank you for your kind words. I greatly appreciate it.
That was definitely shiver-inducing! Loved the description of how the building morphed.

The desired effect. Thanks you for coming by and reading!
Creepy but a little confusing…why would saying those words suck her into the “bottle”? Has she become part of the letters she found, like a genie in a bottle?
Hello Carrie. It was the power within the hand written words, released by being read aloud, which is doing something to her. At least, that’s the way I read it.
Thank you for visiting!
ahh this is a really bad building…
Something wicked….
Thanks for stopping by, Bjorn.
You can check out but you can never leave….
So true. Thank you for stopping by!
You have a very solid grasp on the mood of your writing. Your descriptions are not only evocative and creative, but very well timed. Count me impressed… and a little creeped out.
Thank you, Christopher, for stopping by and taking the time to share your thoughts. It’s very much appreciated.
Dark and powerful. I like it.
