Because it’s leap year this week, Julia’s prompt is ‘take a leap of faith’ and my story is called,
Dogon Dreams
She’d dreamt for so long. Long faced Kanaga masks with square dark holes where eyes should be. She dreamt that staring in, was staring into her future, into the Dark Continent, to travel on the Niger to Dogon country. ‘Damn it,’ she’d said and booked a flight, a leap of faith, to Bamako.

A sharp sandblast of anxiety pelted her, as she stepped from the arrivals hall to a barracking mob of taxi drivers. They offered Mopti, her destination for $250. She turned, for reassurance, to the blue eyed French man she had just met. ‘Xavier, which taxi shall we choose?’
Lucid Gypsy 
Oh my! What an ending! This could be one of those series! Love it & so right for 29th Feb!!
Ooh this is great. I could feel the heat coming off the page…
Clever!
Nice job Gilly! Very creative.
Reblogged this on TRUnique News & Matters.
Brilliant is all I’ve gotta say
Ah bless you Vina, Trunique is a brilliant blog!
I can also see this one being the start of a longer piece as well. A nice take on it
I enjoyed this. Mystical beginning and the hint of romance at the end – great combination.
Uh-oh! Can we trust the Frenchman?
I haven’t made up my mind yet, sounds like you wouldn’t? You could always continue the story!
I wasn’t expecting the Frenchman….nice twist.
Her future romance – had to be!
Powerful words that moves the emotion… Can’t wait for the next page to unfold… Have a beautiful day!
This conjures up so many images, nicely done…to be continued?
Oh no! You’ve got me hooked! What a great piece. Brilliant.
great. now write the in between stuff.
you are so good at these!!! I may have to try this challenge!!
I love these! Think i might try the next challenge!
wierd! I thought my first reply may have gotten caught in spam or something, so re-commented…sorry Gilly!!
As long as her blue-eyed Frenchman doesn’t bundle her into one of those Kanaga masks where she will disappear forever…
I wonder what will happen next?
This is short ad sweet and ends with a cliff hanger.
So well done, Gilly.
You tease …!!! ~~~ : – )
Beautiful… Is that you on a trip to Bamako? 😉
