I’m back! It’s been too long since I did a 100WCGU entry but this week I was inspired by the 100WC entries and decided to give the same prompt a go myself.
The prompt this week was The notes from the piano. Here’s my effort (below):
The piano’s notes
The notes from the piano had become more aggressive. They started off sympathetic; ‘ Sadie, I know you miss Steve, I do too… Perhaps we can support each other?’ But lately they were downright threatening. After a particularly nasty note, I decided to confront it.
It looked the same, innocent and inanimate. I lifted the lid and started to play. Nothing. When I stood up, the piece Steve had been working on fell into my lap. The piano played and the music overwhelmed me. Each note made me start to believe I could one day be whole again. It was the first time I cried.
Very creative. I’d like to see you enlarge on this idea and do something with more like a couple thousand words.
Thanks! That’s an idea… I have a few of these that I plan to come back to at some point but I hadn’t thought of this one as a longer piece. Thanks for the suggestion!
Very nice and soothing. Music can indeed be a comfort blanket and even a first aid kit for the soul. Good work
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Wow – a friendly, if haunted piano! Very original – I like it.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
So creative!
Thanks Christy!
