Welcome to this week’s Flash Fiction Friday. A picture may be worth a thousand words but not for us. We have a picture about which we write a story of 100 words, no more and no less. I am joined by some fabulous writers today who give their take on a picture. To see the picture and the other members click this blog link: Flasher Fiction Friday
This was it – it was Jenna’s big day. First the photo shoot and then the big runway show. I’d never seen her look so frightened, my confident and brave sister seemed to have vanished in the myriad of ruffles and frills. Then in a blink the insecure little girl I had seen was gone, as the stylist fussed with the gown one more time and the photographer circled her Jenna transformed into the haughty and arrogant beauty the cameras could not get enough of. She was born for the spotlight and I was born for the shadows . . .

How sad for the sister. She shouldn't have to stay in the shadows. Great post
Very thought provoking and sad as well. Very interesting interpretation. nice FFF
awww great post venus. Nothing worse then being overshadowed and feeling subpar. :(
not nice to be the one in the shadows. Nice FFF
Aw, the sister just needs to find her own niche and glow from within! I liked this, Venus. I was able to relate. :)
Some are born for the cameras and others are born for the shadows. Sometimes the shadows is a not a bad place to be. It’s a great way to sit back and observe. Nice post.
Gypsy Rose Lee in the making. Out of the shadows emerges the rose. Now, I have to know what happens with the shy sister.....Wonderful FFF!:) xo
I think the sister has her own talents. This isn't her world, it's nice of her to be here to support her family- but I think she's at home somewhere else, where others look at her in awe... a physic lab? A neurosurgery? The classroom?
Awww, so sad for her sister having to stand there and watch her sister get all the glory. Great FFF!
Two sisters, so very different, but so much alike. In their own way, they both need attention and want to be loved. Venus, I like the emotions this post invoked in me, it triggered a flashback. Very good, very good indeed.
Aww, shadow girls needs to come out of the shadows.
Sad! Everyone needs the heat of the spotlight from time to time.
LOVED THIS!
Beautiful, Venus xx
ahh siblings! so much going on under the surface. Nice job!
Beautiful yet sad. Great FFF.
Great tease...having 3 sisters of my own, I would love to know more about these two.
Sisterly love is strong as is the support, but there is always a little envy and competition.
Really well done.
