Drabble Challenge #7

Prompt: windfall

We all dream of it happening to us�that unexpected windfall when we get the thing we�ve badly wanted, yet was out of reach. Some of us, with especially Pollyanna attitudes, almost expect it� we, (well, I), can almost SEE and FEEL the longed-for occurrence.

But far too often it doesn�t work that way, and we�re forced to just keep wanting, to become depressed, to wonder why our dreams are repeatedly squashed like a bug on a windshield.

That�s how it hit me this time�like a small creature flattened against some hard surface. No windfall� instead the wind fell.
