nikki - a 100 word novel

Nikki liked to walk against the wind. She especially enjoyed coming to a halt. The wind preventing her from taking another step or stopping her breath. When she was five she had walked up a steep hill to the butcher's shop with her Grandmother. At least twice they were forced to take steps backwards. On the way home the wind pushed them at a run. Now she was forty three and her Grandmother living in France. Nikki and her daughter in coats of matching red leaned against the wind. 'Look,' said her daughter, 'it is holding me up.' They laughed.
