I gaze at the bright vista before me – a perfect picture framed by the arches. Peaceful at last! I do not have to fret any more.
When I needed to find him, he led me here. He heard me and showed himself. He still cared for me and I forgave him after all these years.
I can still hear my mother’s voice echoing through the years.
“You are so foolish, always picking the leftovers. You take the ones others don’t want.”
I have been foolish but may he rest in peace now.

Dear Lily,
It sounds like she forgave him to death. 😉
Welcome back.

Thanks, Rochelle! I’m really enjoying the fiction. Very therapeutic. Can’t wait till the next prompt.

Very true! We need to quiet mama’s voice. Thank you for reading.

Lily, Good story. This story stood alonel, but I agree that it could also be a good beginning for a longer story. Well done. 🙂 —Susan
Thank you very much Susan!
I’m wondering whether her forgiving him and him being dead are connected… so much intrigue here!
Sometimes one cannot tell, even the person herself. Forgiveness is a difficult thing.
Thanks for reading!
