It started a bright clear day, a great day for a hike. Not long into my walk, the first ominous clouds appeared. Wind whipped up and I could hear the beginning of rumbling.
I knew the dangers of being out in a storm but shelter was at hand, an old settler’s cottage long abandoned. With rain pelting down and lightning flashing across the sky now close, I entered the gloom.
A flash, the noise, my eyes nearly blinded, an apparition appeared. A spinning woman, a ghost from the past, she smiled as she faded. What tricks had the storm played?

Thanks for the comment.
The idea sprung more from a video clip idea than the prompt. 🙂

What a cool video clip!
I really, really liked this Ross!
I suspect she needed the lightening to see her work.
I wonder if she is forever on a perpetual loom with an endless weaving?

Thanks for the comment.
You might have guessed I’m into video work. I produce DVDs (and occasionally CDs) for local schools and community groups when they have performances. What I do is either free or not for profit. The pay is poor but the satisfaction is great. I had an idea for the video clips and wrote the story around it. 🙂
