The moon glowed bright above the sleeping city. Below, thousands of people slept, ensconced in cocoons of warmth to keep out of the cold and snow. Each with their own lives, their own stories. For each one, the old year was past and with the rising of the sun, each could start anew.

Gorgeous! Well done. I loved the “ensconced in cocoons of warmth.” What a view. You should do the Friday Fictioneers! I think you would enjoy it.
December 2nd, 2012 at 7:25 pm
Maybe I will sometime. I’ve enjoyed reading the ones you do.
December 3rd, 2012 at 3:16 pm
Obviously, you can do it on your own. I just think you would enjoy the community. It’s fun to see what everyone does with the prompt.
December 3rd, 2012 at 3:35 pm
No, I agree. What’s fun is seeing how other people react to things and how they use the same elements to make something different. That’s why I like it when other people write things for my Open Prompts stories. When do they post the prompt picture for the current week? I’ll try to do it either this week or next.

Rochelle, who hosts the group, usually puts the photo out on Wednesday. Here’s the link to the Friday Fictioneers: http://rochellewisofffields.wordpress.com/friday-fictioneers-2/
You may need to go to her latest post for the photo. If you need any help, just give me a holler. It would be fun to see you there!

What a nice and beautiful scene. 🙂

Thank you. It is my city, seen from a mountaintop near my house.

The picture was gorgous 😀 I would love to have a view like that.
December 2nd, 2012 at 11:23 pm
Thanks. 🙂 It was one of those one-in-a million shots, I think. I went up on New Year’s Day to watch the sun rise.
December 3rd, 2012 at 12:32 am
I love this! It gave me a warm, peaceful, hopeful feeling.
December 3rd, 2012 at 3:09 pm
I’m glad. It was a very good peaceful way to start off the year, even if it was pretty freaking cold up there.

Oh Wow! I love this picture. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

I’m sure it’s beautiful. I love those times when the moon looks huge and orange. It’s magical.
