Sixty-seven words …

Keith's Ramblings

for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt

‘She’s a wonderful daughter.  I changed my will yesterday,  she deserves everything.  She’s just brought my warm milk and pills.  They look different today.  The doctor probably changed them’. 

The chair creaks as she gently rocks him.  His breathing slows. The glass shatters upon impact with the floor.  Trying to speak, his slurred words fade, he drifts away. 

No need to visit tomorrow.  She turns, smiles, leaves.

.

 

eeeeeeee

    It is worth waiting and loving, always. Those who choose such evil paths complain when they reap what they have sown. It plays out, every time.

    Well told!

    Dear Keith,

    I had a feeling about her from the first sentence. Well done. As always, you amaze me with the graphics. 😀

    Shalom,

    Rochelle

    Oy vey. I thought this was where it was going, and in 67 words, I didn’t have long to wait … 😉
    Full story in a small package. Nicely done! (not so nice for the man …)

    Nicely done, Keith.
    I am going to assume that she assisted with his departure at his request, and with the pharmaceutical guidance of the physician. 🙂

    Not so wonderful and a tad impatient to get her inheritance. Be careful, you awful person, karma is a bitch…
    Well done!

    Well and miserly worded. Sad tale though. When she get old, she’ll remember, and always wonder what might be in her warm milk.

    Hi Keith – yes I hope she has a guilt complex and will forever be anxious/worried … good tale though – stay safe – Hilary
