Suddenly there was brightness all around.The darkness that I was accustomed to, was gone in a matter of minutes.
A buzz of excited chatter all around, disturbing my serenity. Unknown images were excited about something but I was clueless and at a loss.
The yummy supply of food through the umbilical cord, will it cease now, I let out a cry.The images rose in unison to console and welcome me. But one touch said it all, up she lifted, holding close to her, I could feel her warmth.A gentle kiss on my forehead, I knew her, my origin, Mumma.

The challenge is to write in exactly 99 words based on the prompt of the week- a navel story. It can include a belly-button, feature an omphalos (geological or cultural), or extend to navel-gazing (used in meditation or to describe excessive self-contemplation).

Awww absolutely adored this tale from the view of the baby. It’s so creative and so innocent.

A wonderful exploration of what it is to be born, to exchange the umbilical cord for the chance to be held by mumma. A great flash!
