Author’s Note: This drabble of precisely 100 words was written for the AFF Forum’s biweekly prompts 14 June 2015 No. 218: glitter, gamin, gruesome
The glitter of the vision of Grandmother dispersed as the warm blaze of the matches faded into comfortless coils of smoke. The Little Match Girl, shivering in the wind, realized she could not go home; Father would beat her for not selling any matches and, worse, wasting them. With numb fingers she struck the final match and let the flame lick at her apron; the fire engulfed her in agonizing warmth. In the morning, a crowd gathered and leered at her charred corpse in the snow. “What a gruesome end for the gamine,” they agreed, and went about their business.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
