Microfiction Monday #71 ~ where a picture paints 140 characters, or even fewer. Susan says:
Photos will be from my own archives; illustrations are from Dover Publications' free clipart sample newsletter.

There was a clinical precision in that hallway
Cleansed of life
Like an erasure
Maybe one of those open doors
Symbolised
A sidetrack

I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

that photo looks somewhat eerie with all its emptiness. love what you wrote for it though.
you captured that wheelie quite well in the parade below. hope all is well.
The picture is so cold to me too,
A sidetrack would work out well.
Great take.
A very blank hallway Love the ending that those open doors symbolised a sidetrack
This is excellently deep. Enjoyed it.
Yes I agree.
Namaste to you too!
Ooh it is so eerie ;O)
A sidetrack would be a good idea. It does look eerie, doesn't it? Good MF.
Chilling. Hope the sidetrack is fruitful and not just a rabbit trail without purpose or healing!
having been deliberately sidetracking myself for many years and now, finally, trudging the proper path, I can so relate to this post! Excellent write.
There is an emptiness which you have captured so well with the slight hope that something better will be found.
This is a wonderfully different take, sad but with possibilities.
Nicely written, "erasure" is such a perfect word choice here.
Loved the story.
I'll have to have a second cup of coffee. I've been here twice and left two commnets!
"...a clinical precision...cleansed of life..." So sad. So wonderful!
"Cleansed of life" are the words that really grab me! Terrific take on the pic of the day, Gemma, as always! Hope you have a lovely week!

Another spooky look at the photo. lets hope that one of the doors does lead to a sidetrack and something better.
Your poem is so very visual ("cleansed of life"-fantastic!)
I love the idea of doors viewed as detours...life does like to do that to our well-laid plans! Great take as always, Gemma..so glad I discovered this meme...

I love the idea of a sidetrack, and the sense of possibilities contained therein.
Thanks for the comment on mine. Hope your week is going well.
nice take on this. you picked the right words to describe the picture.
...clinical precision ... cleansed of life - Great words.
Nice feel to this - it really does capture the forlornness in this photo.
Nice microfiction! Really like 'clinical percision' and the doors being a sidetracked life. :>
