for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt where the given word is Vellichor and the limit, just 48 words.
Today it seems I’ve swapped Halloween for Valentine’s Day, but fear not for I’ve also written a piece called Hallowe’en A Histoire which you can read HERE should you so wish!

Sagging shelves, dusty tomes. The vellichor, alluring.
There, a book I’ve yearned for.
I grab it. It resists. I pull. It pulls back then disappears.
Through the gap, I see two beauteous blue eyes.
We agree to share it, and so starts a new chapter in our lives.
.
A happy ending!
I like one now and again!
Me too

Utterly unexpected. Utterly charming. Love where your imagination takes you, Keith!

You know… this could be used for Hallowe’en.. He knows not the owner of those eyes… 😉
Wonderful, Keith!
Thanks, Dale. I did toy with that as I was trying to stick to a ‘ween theme this week, but after much humming and haaa-ing I took the soppy route!
Your soppy route was lovely! 🙂
A match made in book heaven.
Indeed they are Mimi!
Hi Keith – I had no idea Vellichor meant a strange wistfulness for second-hand or more hands of old books in a happily groaning store … cheers Hilary
Nor did I, nor any of the online dictionaries I used trying to find it! Thank goodness for Google!
Delightful story, Keith. But of course it is. How do you hit the target so well every time?
Lucky shot maybe? Thanks for your lovely comment, Bill.
Indded.
Dear Keith,
What a delightful story and illustration to boot. I leave your site smiling.
Shalom,
Rochelle
What more could I wish for? Thank you, Rochelle.
Oh, how romantic, Keith! It definitely wasn’t a mirror then? Just checking!
I always enjoy your posts. Entertainment value guaranteed 🙂
Definitely not Sunra! He’s got brown eyes! Thanks so much for your kind words, makes it all worthwhile.
