Finals over, I have a chance to do some fun stuff again, like 100 word prompts! Missed two weeks, but I'm back with "Examine".
Crunch crunch crunch, the little girl sat crushing leaves. Youthful excitement tinged with anticipation filled the room as she carefully opened her birthday gift. A box filled with microscope slide making tools, and she was humming with pleasure. A drop of liquid on the leaf first. She slowed her breathing, carefully dropping the plastic to not catch any bubbles.
Almost.
Four tries later, the perfect slide is finished. Sliding it into place, she flipped the switch and gazed into the lens to examine the leaf.
Nothing.
A few simple adjustments to the microscope brings the intricate lines into focus. Perfect.
