this story felt very serene and comforting
one suggestion i have is that you have "pine needles" written twice in a very short story, maybe find another way to word one of them? just a thought!
thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest!

I have been working on that very thing! I did a little editing on the pine needles earlier today, but I don't know if they show up after it is submitted. I appreciate the help. Thank you so much for reviewing.

Just the kind of place I love. I, too, write about forests and the peace they bring to my heart. This is well written, so much that I almost felt I was there.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That was lovely, Nicki, I could smell the pine, and feel the needles, soft underfoot. It sounds a heavenly place to be. This is a very well written flash fiction story, all done in 75 words. Excellent, and good luck in the contest. :)) Sandra xx

Comment from Jessica Wheeler
Nicki, your stunning and vivid description transported me to a place of serenity and peace. Even with so few words allowed, each one had an inspiring impact- I could almost hear the silent symphony and smell the heavenly pine.. Your ability to capture the essence of this tranquil experience was outstanding. I truly appreciate your work, you're a brilliant writer.

Also- the way you structured the very last sentence might be my favorite part! Well done, thanks for sharing this!

Comment from Bill Schott
This seventy-five-word story, Silent Symphony, has the proper word count and captures this moment when the world becomes a finite and understandable in both its simplicity and grandeur.

Oh, thank you for sharing your silent, special place with us. Your description was perfect and led us to feel what you feel when you arrive there from this noisy, busy world of ours. I really enjoyed this flash. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is an excellent 75 words Flash fiction. I love the way you describe the woodsy friends you are with as you slip into the darkness of the forest. This speaks of the view of a nature trail that I have often trod on with my wheelchair being pushed by a good friend.
I love nature and its smell of the trees engulfing me and the woodsy feel of the forest.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful story.
