Pride And Prejudices – by Hugh W. Roberts
Amid the vibrant fiesta in our town that once silenced love’s diversity, Johnny and I dared to be ourselves.
No longer afraid, we clasped hands and weaved through the colourful crowds of acceptance.
Together, we two young men danced under the moonlit sky while rainbow butterflies fluttered around us.
This fiesta was more than just a celebration; it was a declaration of our love over prejudice.
Embraced by cheers and applause, we finally kissed, the world around us fading to insignificance.
Our love was a beacon at that moment, guiding others towards acceptance and a brighter, more inclusive tomorrow.
Written for the 99-word flash fiction challenge hosted by Charli Mills at the Carrot Ranch.
