Mini Saga n.12 — 23:23

Burning Candles

23:23, I knock at the door. The instructions were clear.

I knock again, this time it opens, I step inside. No sound, just the clicking of my heels on the hard floor.

Hundreds of candles burning, a mattress on the floor, a sleeping shape. I get close.

It’s me.


Mini sagas are short, self-contained stories, of exactly 50 words. I’m using them as a way to practise storytelling. Sometimes inspired by a photograph, other times they are the inspiration for images, to complement the stories.
