FFF 9.2

Alrighty, here's my quick (and this time unedited!) flash fiction piece for (belated) flash fiction Friday, and it's a mightily short 75 words:


It was her red ribbon, Anna’s ribbon, drowning in the murky pool of decomposing leaves and run-off water. Bright, like her smile, bright, like the fervor that burned through the town when she disappeared, and bright like enamel against dust. They found her by the gleam of her teeth in a trick of light down by the river.
I want to ask mayor Silas why Anna’s ribbon was in the ditch outside his garden.

Type me out a line of Shakespeare or a line of nonsense. Dumb-blonde-jokes & Irish jokes will make me laugh myself silly :)
