Reuben's Writing Challenge

lindahoyland's and Reuben's challenge from May 21.

Write a story of any length or topic including these 6 words.

Smile
white
sunbeams
arm
roses
clock



Roses don’t need a clock to tell time. All they need is the steady pulse of a sunbeam, the tick and tock of light kissing their petals. The sun smiles wider every minute, urging them to grow.

Day and night swings like the steady arm of a pendulum, rocking the roses back and forth, until one day, everything fades to white.
