Purple Power

The Keep Writing Challenge for today was to write exactly 120 words in a fiction piece on "Purple."



Purple Power


Millicent scrutinized the face in her mirror. The crow’s feet were deeper than before, but the forehead remained smooth. Her intense green eyes were flecked with gold, suggesting the strength of that heavy metal.

Millie had always been the blue lady. Blue - the color of stability and calm. Her friends counted on her as a port in their storms. Now the divorce papers on the dresser glared an open challenge to that blue calm.

Squaring her shoulders, Millicent stepped away from the mirror and slowly, piece by piece, donned the new outfit.

Striding out the door, a red trail of fierce energy combining with her calm blue aura, she breathed in the purple power. Queen Millicent accepts the challenge!
