109 words
Fiction
Written by: Audrey Francis-Plante
I pulled the dusty typewriter—your most cherished possession—from under the bed. You had left a note on the sheet of yellowed paper: Write about your fears.
So I took a deep breath and wrote about you.
There was a lot to fear. Your crazy eyes. The crazier thoughts behind them. Every morning when I didn’t know what mood you’d be in.
After, I feared your ghost. The persistent spirit of your anger. Of your power.
I feared never being able to tell you this. Ironically, you helped me tell you through that typewriter and yellowed paper. Was it your way to apologize?
I like to think so.
I really liked this… Very mysterious 🙂

Aww, thanks Marica! 🙂 I always find a story has more impact when it’s as short as it can be.

Wow you have such talent ! 109 words and you have the ability to make me feel intense feelings (long lost love, sadness, despair, hope even maybe). Very mysterious too I agree.
Well done !!
