BlogFlash 2012 Day Twenty-Nine: Masquerade
“You look beautiful,” Rowland said, kissing the top of her hand.
“Thanks,” Eliza blushed as they walked up the steps to the Barton Estate.
Mr. Barton was holding another one of his parties–a masquerade this time. Rowland told her this was his last night here. He would be leaving at midnight for his world. But Eliza still hadn’t made up her mind whether or not she would go with him.
Rowland looked dashing, as always. He wore a tux with a black mask covering his face. Eliza had taken her outfit one step further: a sparkling white dress, mask of course, and a pearly pair of fake wings extending from her back.
“They suit you nicely,” he said with a mischievous smile.
Eliza nodded, trying not to look at the clock counting down.

BlogFlash 2012 is a 30 Day challenge to write a 50-100 word post each day based on that day’s prompt. All my posts will be linked as a continuous story, a prequel to a series I’ve been writing.
Be sure to check out Terri Long’s BlogFlash 2012!
Need to catch up on the story? All my BlogFlash entries are here, or you can read the original story, The Transformation.
With time running out…I know what I’m hoping for!
This snippet is gorgeous Christina, I love the imagery and costumes!
My fingers are crossed that she’ll make the right choice. I’m so sad that I won’t be reading this story any more. : (
I’m glad you like it! This is a prequel, so you can always read the rest of the story. Tomorrow’s post will end where the original story starts. And I’m planning to continue the story even more 🙂
Yes, this is a perfect take on the prompt!! The imagery is so lush!! So love that she is sort of trying out the fairy wings!! I have my fingers crossed that things will work out!!
Amazing once again! I will be looking forward to tomorrow!
Beautiful imagery and love how you’ve worked the prompt into the story as well as Eliza trying out her faery wings. The clock counting down is also very vivid.
