undiscovered discovery :: 50 word short story

Once again, we are blessed by @jayna's efforts in organizing the Fifty Word Story Challenge.

I followed him around the patio until he finally settled down on a vine outside and I could get some photos.}

“You can do it,” she breathed.

The butterfly’s body finally flexed free, and it spread its wings to the sun.
