Of Memories And Dreams

Written for Friday Fictioneers where our gracious host, Rochelle,
encourages us to get creative in 100 words or less using this photo
as our inspiration. Here is my 100-word photo-inspired story.

ยฉ Roger Bultot

Funny thing about dreams and memories; sometimes itโ€™s difficult to tell them apart. Sometimes I just donโ€™t want to.

That summer โ€ฆ. after the breakup โ€ฆ. I needed to be alone …. to think โ€ฆ. to put the hurt behind me. A few days at that motel on the beach seemed like a good idea at the time. 

Everywhere I walked โ€ฆ. everything I saw โ€ฆ. reminded me of you. The scent of salt water. Scattered shells and seaweed. That song. Hot summer nights. Stars so close you could touch them.

Memories and dreams of you โ€ฆ. theyโ€™re funny that way.
