Don't forget to check out what everyone else came up with this week. As much as I enjoy writing these, it is a challenge to write only 100 words I love seeing what everyone else writes.
You clean the attic, sorting through what to keep and what
to toss, your husband carrying down box after box of your childhood.
Behind an old mirror you find a black ornately carved wooden
box. You open the dust covered lid to find yellowed pieces of paper. Careful to
not rip the paper you unfold the first one.
Tears form as you read letter after letter from William to
his beloved Rebecca written from the battlefields of The Civil War. The last
one dated March 1863 “My love is with you always…” With a letter of condolence
wrapped around it.
See what everyone else did.
