Fin de la Jornada, by Emilio Boggio (Venezuela) 1912.
My flash fiction piece, “Chromatic Scales” was one of those selected by guest editor Janette Schafer for the challenge based on this painting by Emilio Boggio. (I’m not sure if the word for mine is flash fiction, microfiction, or some cross between either of those and a prose poem.) I’m pleased that Kerfe Roig’s poem was also selected. You can read both of ours–and all the other wonderful poems and stories here.
Yesterday and today: Merril's historical musings 
Whatever you call the form, your phrasing and message are a beautiful hope for all of us.
Thank you so much!
I loved it, Merril! Congratualtions! Flash fiction isn’t easy, but you nailed this.
Thank you very much, Jill!
Congratulations – you did it again!
Thanks, Marian. 🙂
Well done, Merril, like reaching for the light at the end of the tunnel.
Yes, thank you, Ken.
You of course always manage to see the light, to covey the journey out of darkness. We need your vision.
As always, glad to be in such good company.
Thank you, Kerfe.
I really like how you approached this prompt. Very unique. Congrats!
Thank you very much, Luanne!
You did a marvellous job at your flash, Merril.
Beautiful images and enticing enough to make us wonder what happened in the first place…
Thank you so much, Dale!
My pleasure!
