The Secret Door

PHOTO PROMPT © Roger Bultot

I had shut it tight and never gone back to it again. After all the pain and misery that I had gone through, I could not bring myself to trust another woman. I locked my heart in a box and kept it away from the world. Being cynical was not the answer I knew, but my wounds were too deep to ever heal. Then one fine day, she came in like a breath of fresh air. Her laugh brought out a different me and I never realized when she dug a pathway and found a secret door to my heart.

This drabble (100 word fiction) is written for Friday Fictioneers, 4th December 2015.

    How sweet?! Love the positive note at which the post ends! After all the end is never the end unless it is a happy one :)

    Dear Soumya,

    I love your use of the prompt as it not being a literal door. I like the way it ended on a hopeful note.

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

    This was so lovely!
    Sometimes, no matter how tight the lock is, that special key comes along...
