Saturday Centus - Anticipation



It is time for my next Satuday Centus from the blog of Jenny Matlock ,  This week's prompt comes from the inspirational Miss Ames on her blog, Girl Raised in the South.  I have no more than 100 words to turn the prompt into some kind of story, peom or factual account.




She stood waiting at the great arched doorway. With heart beating wildly, her fingers gripped tightly around the rough, calloused had of her beloved father. The moment seemed to be lost in a haze, time standing still, emotions running freely. It seemed to be getting bigger by the minute, growing within her: the excitement, anticipation and, yes, nervousness as she heard the first cord of her chosen music signaling it was time. She walked down the aisle, a bride of bides, glowing with love for the man smiling back at her.
