(Belated) Friday Fictioneers

My first (ever) blog post!  I've decided to join Madison's Friday Fictioneers on  Sarah Berling's advice.  Thanks Sarah!

Every Friday, Madison posts a photo, and asks for a 100 word or less flash fiction piece based on it.  Here's the photo; my text is below.  Enjoy!



First Light

Trousers, belt, undershirt, flannel overshirt.  Oatmeal in the microwave with thick dark molasses; three minutes ten seconds.  Kiss my wife murmuring and rolling over.  Look in on the boys and nobody stirs.  Open the door, breath smokes, rooster pokes his head from the shed in back.  Old gray dog at my heel.  Say hey isn't it pretty on the river and here comes the sun welcome for now.
