Janet is at it again. Our mission: write a 100-word short story using the words
art
jersey
lily
double
kiss
Here is my entry.
Art handed his wife
a glass.
“This is Bordeaux.
Do you remember the first time we had it?”
“No,” Lily said.
“Paris. On our
honeymoon. That was some week. Not bad for a couple of Jersey kids.
Do you remember it?”
“No.”
“Now this,” he said, placing chocolate in her palm, “is from Belgium. We went there, too. Remember?”
“No.”
“It’s OK, dear.
I do.” He remembered it all. But, Alzheimer’s had not ravaged his
brain.
“I miss you,”
Art said. He kissed Lily, took her hand, double-checked to ensure the
garage door was closed, and started the car.

I didn't know this had won (Congratulations!) since you never posted anything (I'd have been screaming about it!).
ReplyDeleteI follow Janet Reid's blog, but don't always get to all her posts. I did notice you have something posted for the current contest. Good luck!!
My post tomorrow will feature today's contest, and SUBTLY mention the last one.
