This week's microfiction is a 70-word story about happiness.

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!

“Is that a promise?” Gracie had laughed before hanging up.

Now, the cloudless sky seemed a fulfillment of that promise. Gracie laughed and threw her arms wide open, soaking up the sunlight.
