Challenge: Stillness

Zahid Niaz

Once, a rose was imprinsoned in-between two pages of a poetry book ... it laid there still, gifting its perfume to the verses, and dried up with the passage of time to create history, the history of love.

Comments please ...

this is a really interesting image. i didn't read the text or title at first, so i was very puzzled by the subject -- it looked like slices of wood or something. perhaps the title should have "rose" in it to tip people off? just a thought.

Thanks Nick for the comments! Do'nt you think "Rose" will be too obvious? I feel we should have some mystry feeling in the affair and the suspence can only be introduced with a title telling the story indirectly i.e Imprinsoned
for 16 years OR Still Beautiful OR Burried in a Book,etc.
May be my theory is wrong, so lets consult our other friends in this regard.
