One Last Dance

by Sharon Atkinson

One chance meeting. One moonlit dance with a beautiful stranger. It was the kind of scenario upon which films are written, but would actually end up shaping Kristian’s life forever. Who was Olivia and why did she vanish once the music had stopped?

About the author

I was born and raised in East London and now I reside in Essex. I have always been interested in poetry from an early age but only started to write my own since 2001. Since 2003 I have had 12 of my poems published in different anthologies including, “Poets of Greater London”, “Love in Ink”, "The Path of True Love" and “Daily Reflections 2005”, to mention but a few. These have been published via ForwardPress.

I have always given my time and shoulders to listen to others who needs to be consolidated and gently pushed in the right direction, I expresses concern and heartfelt feelings to those in need of time and space to cry and shed off loads of stress and upheaval in their lives.

As a writer, I write poems straight from the heart and reflects this in order to inspire readers with a different level of understanding and a feeling of the side that is not usually portrayed in your normal line of poems.

I get my inspiration and motivation to write from the people that surround me, my friends and family.

My poems have been heart-breaking as well as mystical and in many ways consist of a little bit of magic and wisdom, although I have many more years to travel through, which is a great conquest for me and my fans to look forward to more writing from me.

My next instalment of poetry, “Beyond Darkness” is a working progress and it expresses my love for poetry but from a deeper, darker gothic side with the sometimes romantic twist. Along side the poetry I am working on my first novel which is proving challenging but fun. I am also delving into the short stories, some of the dark influence and some with a more supernatural but romantic feel.

Reviews

[Pilli · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a really short story, but in my opinion it is a really nice one. I enjoyed reading this story and I caught by surprise by the ending. I seriously had not expected the story to end the way it did. It leaves room for imagination on what the future holds. Although I wouldn't consider it a happy ending, I wouldn't consider it a sad, unsatisfying one. Overall, I loved the short story. :)
