Writing Adventures

Flash Friday: Don Quixote

20th November, 2009 - No Comments

It’s not every day that you see an old man tilting with windmills. Nor one being followed by a young man on a donkey.  He strives for the nobility of an earlier age, for the honor of chivalry that never really was. His delusions cloak him in security while his young squire pays the price. He sees greed, corruption and vice all around him, but only fools himself in the correction. The scoundrels laugh behind his back and treat his friend roughly. He is only one man and even his family believes him mad. He has read too many books, and you know how dangerous that can be.
