Micro Bookends - 1.19 - Spring/Festival - Image chinese fireworks - 110 words
Spring right on the heels of New Year bore down hard on
Chongun. He considered his added role as
he pulled the cart of fireworks past the rice patties etched into the side of
Kunlun Mountain. With his brother drafted by the People’s
Liberation Army now, he was not only in charge of the family fireworks
business, but the rice paddies also.
Another man might complain.
Chongun saw only opportunity to fulfill his destiny as head of the
richest family in the valley. Provided
of course, his brother did not come back.
Chongun smiled and said, “Enough daydreaming, I need to get
these fireworks to the temple for tomorrow’s festival.”
