Monday Microfiction: "A Dance of Fog and Silver"

This week's microfiction is a 100-word story about mysterious women who appear in the fog.

Many (but not all) of my micro stories are inspired by prompts provided by THE FICTION DEALER Substack. I highly recommend checking it out if you’re interested in reading more microfics — or writing your own!

A Dance of Fog and Silver

They say the willow women only appear during a full moon when there’s fog creeping ‘cross the ground.

They say that if you bring a gift of silver, the willow women may dance with you. They play ethereal music and whirl and twirl with uncommon grace.

But once you dance with the willow women, you’ll never dance again.

I have roamed the foggy grounds with a silver coin in my hand and moonlight in my eyes.

I have heard their empyreal music; I have whirled and twirled amongst them.

I have danced with the willow women; I’ll never dance again.
