I love the way you framed the story…the font being the tie to the prompt. Brilliant. And the letter gives us some hints but leaves us wondering. Wonderfully done, sir.
Poor Harold, though.
Ugly deed, beautiful note.
Life is ironic, how there can be great beauty from great guilt.
Oh, that line was just crap. But it just poured forth.
Well done and great presentation. I’m with the others wondering what Harold did all of those years ago. I mean, ’24 was a pretty crazy year and, all, but…
Very interesting and different take on the prompt. The period language felt exactly right. People had different standards then, and social approval/condemnation was much more rigid – you manage to imply that in your story. Like everybody else, I’m keen to know what Harold did.
Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and jeff Arnold for this week’s picture.
Blimey, all sorts of questions. What has Harold been up to?!
I haven’t got a scooby-doo Iain!
interesting Keith……………
Mmmm! Thanks Di.
Mmmm, hmmmm. So what aren’t you telling us Keith? So many evil deeds and secrets?
Love this, Keith.
Great presentation of long-ago mystery.
The story took about 5 minutes, the presentation about 5 hours! Cheers CE
Take it from me, Harold, she’d much rather have an upfront apology. 😉
Bit late now!
Well yes. 1939… Just goes too prove that saying, “If you wait ten years the troubles of today will seem so small.”
So true Christine!
Wow! Love it. What did he do?
No idea!!! Cheers Sadje.
Thanks!
We need a sequel, I think. Nice one.
I am considering it! Thanks Anthony.
Goodness, that was intriguing. Great take on the photo prompt, Keith.

Even I’m wondering what happened! Cheers Susan.
I know he did wrong, but his remorse is apparent. I wonder if she read this after his death… 🙁 Wonderful formatting, very creative.
I’d like to think she did. Thanks for your kind words.
You are welcome, Keith.
Dear Keith,
I love the way you framed the story…the font being the tie to the prompt. Brilliant. And the letter gives us some hints but leaves us wondering. Wonderfully done, sir.
Shalom,
Rochelle
That’s very kiind of you Rochelle. It took a while to do which is why I was later to the party than usual!
Now that it’s too late to make amends. Sad.
Better late than never. Thanks Mimi.
The language of this is spot-on. Welldone.
Thanks so much Sandra
Poor Nora. This was clearly a suicide note, and it’s going to leave her, if she ever finds it, in a world of pain.
Good writing, Keith.
It was and he wanted her to wait a while before fnding out the reason. Thanks Linda.
This is great. I so much want to know what he did!
I’m going to have to dig a little deeper! Cheers Clare.
she seems to be a good christian. apology accepted. better late than never. 🙂
Yep, he popped in his Bible hoping for some divine forgiveness.
Lookit you, Mr. Techno!
Wonderful take on the prompt… now we can start imagining what he did…
Let me know if you come up with something!
Will do!
Sad, poignant and hard hitting. What could he have done that was so terrible to last all that time?
Thanks so much Michael.
Great artistic post.
Poor Harold, though.
Ugly deed, beautiful note.
Life is ironic, how there can be great beauty from great guilt.
Oh, that line was just crap. But it just poured forth.

I thought it was pretty good! Cheers Randy.
Well done and great presentation. I’m with the others wondering what Harold did all of those years ago. I mean, ’24 was a pretty crazy year and, all, but…
Even I’m wondering now! Looks like I’ll be taking a trip back to the 20’s!
Looking forward to it.
Harol’s so made a mess out of things
I do believe he has! Cheers Larry.
Such a sad goodbye. It’s a shame he couldn’t face her. Hats off to your Photoshop skills!
It is indeed. I don’t know what I’d do without Photoshop!
Very interesting and different take on the prompt. The period language felt exactly right. People had different standards then, and social approval/condemnation was much more rigid – you manage to imply that in your story. Like everybody else, I’m keen to know what Harold did.
They certainly did and I’m pleased that came though in my piece. I’d like know too! Thanks so much for your thoughts Penny.
Loved the visual presentation. Story opens up a lot of questions. Well done.
Well penned. I loved the take of this prompt and relating it to the past. 🙂
Thank you so much Susan, I’m so pleased you liked it.
Great packaging of an intriguing letter. I loved the presentation and think that you nailed it this week…
Thank you Mike, that’s really kind of you.
I am sure the family had their suspicions and would appreciate he finally admitted his transgression.
Quite possibly. And, as they say, better late than never. Cheers James.
Good one, Keith! His transgression must’ve been a whopper. 🙂
Intriguing and mysterious. Could be the start of a mystery. Nice one.
It maybe, we’ll see! Thanks so much.
Sounds like Harold’s been naughty.
Oh yes! Cheers Russell.
What could he have done… but I assume that in 1939 we know were Harold went for his sins…
I wondered if anyone would notice the significance of the date, and you did!
Wow, a very creative presentation, and a wonderful mystery you left us with. Excellent, Keith!
That’s so kind of you Brenda, thank you.
What did he do? My mind is reeling, wondering what it could be. I wonder if she’ll ever forgive him once she finds out. Intriguing story, Keith
As he wrote it back in 1939 is possible she never found it – another unanswered question! Cheers Lynn.
My pleasure
Oh this is intriguing ! What did he do? Clever use of the typewritten page to tell this story!
I wonder! Thanks so much Laurie.
