Challenge: [92] Feathers
Title: Paper Cranes
Word Count [100]

Notes: No spoilers; this came about from the project I'm doing with the Japanese Club, we're folding a 1,000 paper cranes to send to Hiroshima next month.



There was a legend that if one folded 1,000 paper cranes, they'd be granted a wish. It was an old legend; but nothing was hurt by trying to complete it.

Sora's mother deftly folded another square of paper into the shape of a crane, smoothing out the edges to form strong creases; puffing out the crane with a warm breath of air. Wind ruffled the sheets of paper next to the completed cranes; giving the impression of many feathers rustling in the wind.

She prayed the many wings of her cranes would bring Sora back to her, safe and sound.

Thanks~

NICE. I love when real traditions make it into fic, srsly.

I tried to make 1000 paper cranes once. After about three hundred or so, I just couldn't anymore. XD

I've been making cranes for the past few days; it's a big club thing that we're trying to get the whole school to do. We'll get a thousand cranes (even if the officers have to do double time on them-- XD like now) because we really want to send them to Hiroshima.

And thank you~! I just had to put that in there; it seemed to fit. ^_^

Icon LOVE. ... Have I said that before? XD

^^ I'd heard about this legend, and I love your use of it. :( Poor Sora's Mom.

Hee

I <3 my kitty tea icon.

And thank you~ ^__^ I've been folding cranes like mad over the past couple of days, so it's very much in my head. I think she would make that type of wish.

...now I want to write a follow up with Sora finding the cranes. *lol*

This is me, loving you. <3 I just have the image of this poor woman sitting about, folding and folding, with the cranes all over the floor, and you know you wear off the top layer of your finger if you rub paper too much, and gah. Preeetty. And 100 words yay!

*grins*

Thanks! I just can see her folding cranes as much as she can, just wanting Sora back--

^_^

and yeah, 100 words-- whee~!

You're so good at these 100 word drabbles! Poor dear woman, waiting for her son like that.

And good luck with your club project~! XD

^^; Thanks!

We're about halfway there, probably a little more than halfway at this point (all of the club officers are addicted to folding cranes at this point)

XDD
