Sunday Micro Fiction: An Omen or a Lark?

Once again, Richard Osgood at Zoetrope Vir­tual Stu­dio’s “The Flash Fac­tory” pro­vides the prompt words for a fifty-word micro fic­tion piece:

omen
whirligig
adieu
lark
nor’easter

I’ve Still Got Some­thing It Wants

Ran­dall Brown

The wind wants to top­ple; the rain to drown; the snow to bury; the twister to turn my home into a whirly­gig. The nor’easter awaits, a boogey­man. A lark, such thoughts, Harold says. A symp­tom of darker things. Each time, when Nature decides not to bid me adieu: an omen.
